For 10 years I’ve been building hotspring pools at one spring. The material you add gets coated in limestone deposits pretty quickly. So it really feels like building a legacy for my young ones to play in when they’re older.
Careful, generally, diverting or otherwise messing with the flow of waterways is illegal. Got a talking to from a DNR officer when I was a kid.
Those terrorist bevers must be stopped at all costs.

You’re joking, but there is concern about the environmental damage beavers cause.

Ok I'll bite.
How did the world survive for millions of years with bevers around before we killed most of them on every continent?

You don’t need to dig it out to get more storage space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k3mVnRlQLU
I knew what video that was before clicking...
If you ever get a chance to visit him in Berkeley, I thoroughly recommend doing so. Not only can you stock up on Klein bottles and scarves, but the man's an absolute treasure and delight, and, depending on how old you were when _The Cuckoo's Egg_ was published, perhaps one of your childhood heroes. I have one of his bottles right here on my desk.

The environment causes environmental damage as part of the natural cycle of life.

Christ, enough of the anti-beaver comments. Beavers co-evolved with species and their environment for a long time and (were) part of the eco system before we nearly eradicated them like we did many other species. From the article you linked:
> Even though the beaver destroys life, its actions give way to new life and help conserve the overall environment. The positive effects of the beaver on its environment far outweigh the negative effects.

You say 'generally', but then talk about officials of one very specific country?
