Are Beavers Good For Ponds. There’s this continuum of approaches when it comes to stream restoration, but beavers are increasingly at the forefront of restoring degraded streams in the american west. From important game species like wood duck, mink and otter, to vulnerable anadromous fish like rainbow smelt, steelhead and salmon, biodiversity thrives due to beaver ponds. They make ponds to protect their lodges and flood areas to. And while some might consider beavers to be pests, they can actually help us manage. To achieve a water capacity large enough to supplement human supplies, beavers would have to construct an unrealistically large number of ponds across the same catchment. Even then, the water storage would be dispersed across many shallow ponds, making extraction for use in a water supply network unrealistic. Beaver ponds store cool water in summer, creating habitat for the region's important native fish species, like endangered steelhead and spring chinook. Much like us, beavers build dams along streams for their own benefit. They are considered “ecosystem engineers,” recognized for their ability to construct dams and create ponds.
