Title: How Beavers Could Help Protect Water Quality from Climate Change

URL: https://www.cpr.org/2022/11/11/beavers-water-quality-climate-change/

Description: A 2017 water and soil science study on the East River tributary of the Colorado River took a different turn than expected when beavers dammed the river section being studied. This event allowed for evaluation of the effect beavers have on water quality and ecosystem health. Beavers’ work was found to be more significant in reducing excess nitrogen than either rain or snowmelt. Ecologists believe the increasing warmth and dryness of the western U.S. will allow beavers to extend their range, potentially improving water quality of existing rivers.

Previously managed by the U.S. Department of Energy, the plant manufactured nuclear and non-nuclear weapons from 1952 to 1994, after which it was added to the EPA’s National Priorities List (Superfund List) in 1989. Today, the refuge is one of over 560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System.
