megangibson+FollowBeavers bring new life to Lake PowellBeavers are making a comeback in the canyons of Lake Powell, and their return is turning heads. As water levels drop, these industrious animals are building dams and creating ponds in places that haven’t seen wildlife in decades. Their work is helping native plants and animals thrive again, naturally filtering water and stabilizing the land. It’s a powerful reminder that when nature gets a chance, it can bounce back in amazing ways. What do you think—should we let more areas recover like this, or focus on keeping water levels up for people? Let’s talk about how we balance nature and our needs. #Science #LakePowell #Beavers20Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowBeavers Are Basically Nature’s PlumbersTurns out, beavers aren’t just adorable dam-builders—they’re low-key water wizards! New research found their ponds do way more than create wetlands and boost biodiversity. Beaver ponds actually help refill underground water supplies, especially in rocky areas, and can even help balance water needs during dry spells. But there’s a twist: in some places, their ponds can lead to less groundwater recharge, which is actually a win for farmers. Who knew these furry engineers were shaping our water future? #Science #Beavers #Nature10Share
