Nice. But beaver dams also capture sediment, one of the problems is that rain on loose soil forms deepening gullies. Another big part is the wetlands, which helps water refill aquifers if the soil is permeable. And a charged aquifer provides springs. I have no idea why I am so obsessed by aquifer recharge. There’s a fair number of greening the desert YouTube channels using Beaver Dam analogues funded by the state.

Maybe humans have an instinct for water management like beavers do. >There’s a fair number of greening the desert YouTube channels using Beaver Dam analogues funded by the state. I enjoy some of these too. There's also water management focused regenerative agriculture projects that are cool like food garden pond systems in Hawaii[0] [0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24uCCr3KjCI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24uCCr3KjCI

  > Maybe humans have an instinct for water management like beavers do. We absolutely do. For both water and fire management.
