This study showed the impact of the
trapping of beavers, and their presence,
upon water depths (i.e., water stored).
Beavers were trapped out between 1994 and 1995, but the beaver dams inside the
cattle exclosure were still largely intact
and functional in 1995. In contrast, dams
were absent downstream of the exclosure
(Reach 1), though remnant dams had bee
noted during the 1994 survey of Reach 1
