    Beavers: It’s what we do. Now clean up that dirty water!

      I guess the water could be dirty from sediments without it being unnatural or bad in itself. I have no idea if that’s the case here though. In either case beavers are awesome.

        If you think about it, it would make no sense for a beaver to clean water. After they build the dam, it creates a body of water that they swim in. They spend their time on that side of the dam. That would be the “dirty” side. If a beaver dam cleans water, it’s purely coincidental.

          Beavers have been known to build series of dams down the river so maybe it’s a cumulative effect for the downstream beaver families
