    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_dam

    A beaver dam or beaver impoundment is a dam built by beavers; it creates a pond which protects against predators such as coyotes, wolves and bears, and holds their food during winter. These structures modify the natural environment in such a way that the overall ecosystem builds upon the change, making beavers a keystone species and ecosystem ...

    Structures formed from plant material include beaver dams, which are constructed by foraged branches and sticks. [22] The dam is a wall of sticks constructed on a moving water source, which forces the water to collect in one area and to stop flowing. [22] Beavers begin to build a dam in an area where rocks and other debris slow the flow of the ...

    It works in three ways. First, the perimeter of the trapezoidal fence is typically 40–50 feet (12–15 m) long, making it difficult for a beaver to dam the entire fence. Second, as beavers try to dam the culvert, the fence forces them to dam in a direction away from the culvert, which is not in their nature.

    Beaver scientists manage these issues by relocating beaver dams, using water sounds to trick beavers into building the dam in different places, or using pipes in dams to help control water levels. [7] These methods were suggested when beavers created dams blocking man-made structures such as culverts.
