  • Removing beaver dam with giant 22 tones excavator. There are nearby fields witch should be drained. This dam here was for a while. I even saw some pikes there. I guess there was even more species of fishes. When I asked guy who was working with excavator he said he here for the 1st time.

      He needs to do it better. He should release the whole major dam. Only doing half causes the water to speed up as it is forced through a smaller space.
      They think they're stopping it from overflooding when really all they're doing is causing the water to flow much quicker and probably overflood lol.

      @@Kenislovas In the dried up West, people are learning that if they want water in their wells even in the summer, fish in the streams, and grass on their lands they need to re-build beaver dam analogues by hand - plant trees next to the streams, and gradually entice beavers to come back. There are 'beaver deceivers' available that mitigate the effect of beaver dams, preventing the blocking of culverts for instance, while retaining much of the pond water to raise the water table. In short - people like you are a mistake in action. I hope your wells go dry.

I can't even imagine how long it would have taken you by hand - and most likely even then you would have only been able to open a small portion. But it sure was fun to watch that water flow after they punched the big hole in it!
