	Beavers
		Since beavers are not usually seen during the day, their presence can be identified by the dams and lodges that they build.
		Dams are built to stop the flow of water causing an area to flood.
		Beaver pelts were so valuable during the 1800's that surplus pelts were burned to keep the price from falling.

		And on the Essex and Parker rivers, state fisheries biologists have identified beavers as an impediment to the spawning of anadromous fish.
		In acquiring a permit to breach the dam and trap the beavers in the colony, the property owner, with help from the Chebacco Lake Association, successfully argued that the dam interfered with spawning activity in the lake by preventing fish passage between the lake and the Essex River, which leads to the ocean.
		Because it is believed that beavers respond to the sound of running water by finding the source and damming it up, the flow systems are designed to let water pass through the dam without the sound.

	People and the Land
		Ice dams are notorious associates of spring floods in the northern U.S. and often form when river ice is trapped against bridge abutments, but occasionally these ice dams may occur simply because the large pieces of ice wedge against themselves and the banks and trap more and more of the ice chunks floating down stream.
		Around 1990, a beaver dam was constructed across Battle Creek itself about 100 yards upstream of the log cabin sawmill; this dam blocked the entire stream for most of a year and raised the water level in the pool it created by an additional two feet.
		These dams have lost their original utility and many of them are now damaged or opened, but they recall an important economic and social utilization of water and they serve as an interesting counterpoint of scale to the large hydro-electric projects of the twentieth century.

		Beavers, long known for their beneficial effects on the environment near their dams, are also critical to maintaining healthy ecosystems downstream.
		They noted that water diverted by beaver dams is forced out of the natural stream channel and spreads across and down the valley for hundreds of meters.
		Additionally, beaver dams built away from natural river channels further redirect water across the valley, enhancing the depth, extent, and duration of inundation associated with smaller floods; they also elevate the water table to sustain plant and animal life during the dry summer season.
