Beavers diligently plug leaks in their dams because their survival depends upon the cover provided by the water in their pond. If a beaver can detect the flow of pond water into a pipe, it will plug the pipe with mud and sticks. To be successful, a beaver dam pipe must eliminate the sound and feel of water flowing into the pipe.
