Wow, lots of new followers in the past couple of days! Hello! I'm a cartographer also working in the sustainable transportation space, and I recently launched a bid for public office in #Napa, CA.
Here's a look at Napa Valley #watersheds and dams. The larger dams impound public water supplies, and the smaller ones are for agriculture.

Clay Ramey, a fisheries #biologist with the White River National Forest, said that once the U.S. Forest Service knows where beavers already live and where they would improve the #ecosystem, they can relocate beavers to sites that make ecological sense.
“Beavers were native here. And so, before the gringos showed up and killed them all, there were beavers everywhere. And more or less every stream that’s less than something like 5% slope was just chock a block with #beaver dams. The animals adapted to that, and the plant communities adapted to that. And the water that came out of these #watersheds probably a lot slower than it did once we took all the #beavers out,” Ramey said.

From the #Western #Watersheds Project:
Scientists know all species are important for their contribution to natural systems and intrinsic value. Yet #wildlife management in New Mexico continues to focus on producing a harvestable surplus of a handful of game species and sport fish that are of interest to #hunters and #anglers, ignoring most other species that comprise New Mexico’s extraordinary wildlife endowment. ...
The time for the department to pivot from being a relic of the past to a modern, wildlife #conservation agency is long overdue. With the number of species moving toward extinction growing daily, the need is urgent.

What if we followed John Wesley Powell's proposal to demarcate the American West along watershed boundaries? Exploring it, I quite like the results.

475 followers · 976 posts · Server universeodon.com“Water quality
The third way beavers affect their #watersheds is by changing #water quality. Beaver dams change the water quality both upstream and downstream:
upstream, the water slows and pools, so that more heat from the sun can be stored. Warm, slow-moving water speeds the decomposition of organic material and the growth of microorganisms in the water. This causes the water in the beaver #pond to contain more #nitrates and more dissolved organic carbon. Dissolved organic carbons are sugars, proteins, and other large molecules
downstream, the water contains more methylmercury, dissolved organic carbon, and ammonium
How much the water quality is changed both upstream and downstream of a #beaver dam varies throughout the seasons. This is for example because more decomposed organic material and solids can be washed over the dam in seasons with high water levels.”

475 followers · 976 posts · Server universeodon.comMore from Medium on how #beavers affect #watersheds:
“Water movement and storage
The second way beavers affect their watersheds is by changing the movement and storage of water from melted snow and rain. This is because beaver dams cause water to flow slower both before and after the dam. Also, beaver canals in the floodplains above the dam slow the water flow. When water flows slower, rainwater or water from melted snow has the chance to spread in the channels across the #floodplain and be absorbed and stored by the soil. Also, with slower water flows, the length of the path water takes to sink into the #sediment and return to the stream becomes longer.
The advantage of slower flows and increased absorption is that #groundwater supplies are replenished more quickly and more water is stored. This helps the #watershed and wetlands to survive during times of little or no #rainfall.”

475 followers · 976 posts · Server universeodon.com“At the same time, while beavers have made their way back, we can’t sit still: me must conserve healthy and restore damaged environments. And this not only benefits #beavers, it also benefits many other plants and animals because beavers have a large impact on the ecosystems in which they live. This ecosystem is usually a watershed. A watershed is an area that drains rainwater or melted snow to #streams, lakes, or #wetlands.
#watersheds are complex ecosystems with many interactions, managing beavers’ impact is not a simple task. Interactions exist between #climate, how the land is covered, how the land is used, and the shape of the landscape. These many factors affect the physical, chemical, and biological processes on land and in #streams, causing each #ecosystem to respond differently to #environmental changes. Knowing how #beavers impact their #watershed #ecosystem is important to understand interactions and in turn improve #conservation and #restoration efforts…”
