If the river can be raised it often may be done for simply moving items on the river. Nothing unusual here. Lake dropped 2 inches to raise the depth 2ft for a short time.

So any citizen can call up and request the river be raised so their family can take a boat trip?

I wouldn't be too surprised if there's a process if needed and maybe a fee. It's fairly common on canals where barges may be carrying larger items which increase draft.
