[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1833185, member: 43196"] @Warren is correct in his thinking here. The beaver may seem like they are bringing destruction, but if you take another view, they are Nature's Engineers. The flooding they bring about in the immediate area does multiple beneficial things, if you think about it. Their dams slow water flow which leads to capture of precious top soil. They create wet meadows that are a godsend during times of drought. Their dams, which can cause localized flooding, prevent catastrophic, destructive floods or at the very least lessen the impact, of the aftermath of 'gully washer' rainfall events where these beaver dam 'safety nets' do not exist which mitigate the destructive forces unleashed by such storms. Beaver dams help immensely with water management by enhancing the 3 principles of water management that are so important to everyone who relies in land management......which IS everyone. 1) CAPTURE of the water. 2) STORAGE of the water. 3) BENEFICIAL RELEASE of the water.
