I'd like to see beavers returned to their historical range out west, seems like they could help a bit with droughts in remote areas. trap and remove them when they edge into farmland. I'm pretty sure the beaver dams would reduce the severity of wildfires, and that, even with trapping and removing them from farms, it would be very cost effective compared to fighting the fires. . . plus, all those extra ponds might provide remote resources to helicopters with the water buckets. My education is in industrial arts not environmental science, so I'm just spitballing here.

[@frizzlethecat2084]

I'm sure it would be a great benefit, but part of the wildfire-problem comes from drought. And without water, beavers won't really be able to create ponds. But in general, I'm pretty sure you're right and it would help.

[@wrarmatei]

In a Nature of Things episode about beavers, researchers found a strong correlation between beavers' constructions and precipitation. It was a while ago that I saw it, but pretty cool. The episode should be easy to find if anyone's curious.

[@greenman6141]

@@frizzlethecat2084 In Arizona, in areas that have been ravaged by drought, the parts of such areas that allowed beavers to live and create their dams, found that their waterways continued to have water throughout the driest parts of the year. The water management system of the beavers beat the droughts. Initially it had been thought, or claimed, that beavers couldn't be re introduced because of the ongoing droughts and water shortages. But some areas rejected this assertion and introduced beavers. Those areas were the ones that had water all year round, which had a tremendous knock on effect of the health and presence of all the other animal species of the area - as they had water. It was a total success even in the areas hard hid by years of drought.

[@davehart1027]

@@greenman6141 thats pretty cool... and makes sense, im probably going off on a tangent here, but theoretically speaking, the ponds they create, would add to rainfall, i mean the whole water cycle thing i learnt in school, but forget the exact details tbh, but im thinking something like increased surface area plus slow moving... and, if you have a dammed up area of water, you have that amount of water to still head downstream and feed the watercourse, plus small scale, but theyre collecting atleast some dead trees and twigs which would become kindling for forest fires... plus, if you have water, you can introduce other animals that would eat woodland greens, that would otherwise die off qnd wecome super dry and flammable, and the dams, and soggy surrounding areas, would be natural firebreaks... kinda sad tho, the bit where they said they were removed because they were in conflict with farmlands...
