    Hydrology is a vastly complex subject, but the answer to "why has it flooded?" almost always: "because there was a crap load of rain".

    Most work just shows water slowed down a bit, but *if* beaver ponds can store huge volumes of flood water could be big news for NFM.

    The beaver ponds typically store ~1000m3 water, but are shown to completely remove up to 2000m3 from event (stored until flow~=baseflow)

    Attenuation seems huge, so wondering if all due to the activities of the beavers. Would be good to see in-event field photos to understand.

    It's a real shame, as acknowledge in the paper, that they weren't able to baseline the hydrology before the beavers were reintroduced.

    New paper looking at hydrology, sediment & water chem impacts of beavers in Devon. Interesting stuff.

    And yes, If you were wondering, I have been in the bottom half of the internet on a hydrology story again...

    Problem is it tends to imply an entrenched position & also the speaker is implicitly tying their intelligence/logic into the fallacy.

    Interested in how other people deal with someone being spectacularly wrong about science whilst saying "it's just common sense"?
