Beavers are Fluminists. They understand flow, and they understand just how far to resist without destroying it.

"Beavers are truly an agent of disturbance: they are in that river corridor...disturbing it + making a whole variety of...habitat...they're really building that complex food web from the bottom up."

Leave it to Beaver: How Nature’s Engineers are Helping Us Mitigate Disasters
The history of the West has always been defined by water. Long before settlers arrived, Indigenous peoples designed complex water management systems to cultivate the arid land. In the 19th and 20th ce...

#LeakyDams, also known as 'leaky barriers' or 'leaky debris dams', are in-stream structures made of trees or logs which hold back water and #SlowTheFlow💧

@nationaltrust.org.uk’s #HardcastleCrags site where you can visit Gibson Mill.
19th century cotton mill was initially water powered. It now houses an impressive battery bank, fed via PV-cells and hydro. In the same room where you see the set up there’s also a loop film about the #LeakyDams project

The hard work of repairing and rebuilding the #LeakyDams in the Lye Brook continues. We aim to #SlowTheFlow during peak flow events caused by the storm drain at the head of the Valley and so reduce damage to the soft #peat banks.

🌿 #EastSuffolkWMB have installed 4 #leakydams in Boxford’s upper surface water catchment, on behalf #SuffolkCountyCouncil
#ReclaimtheRain, together with #SCC’s Flood & Water Team, will be monitoring the outcomes to demonstrate the positive impact of these leaky dams across the catchment

More #flytipping, this time a Christmas tree left on the public footpath that runs along the top of the Valley.
However, unlike most rubbish dumped on us, we found a use for this. It's been incorporated into one of our #LeakyDams to help to #SlowTheFlow of water in Lye Brook.

Good to see our #LeakyDams coping well with the recent rain, by slowing the flow and holding back water for longer. As well as rewetting the fen, it also reduces #flooding in the residential areas downstream from us.

After heavy rain, road runoff from a large part of Headington is discharged at the head of the Valley. Our #LeakyDams raise the water level in the Brook, hold more water for longer, reducing the risk of #flooding downstream, and the loss of #peat through drying. #FenRestoration
