Abstract:
Problems associated with beavers in North Carolina are caused by the flooding of fields or timber. However, farmers can control flooded areas by installing a water-level control device to create a beaver pond and wildlife habitat. Beaver ponds also control siltation and serve as water reservoirs that can recharge depleted underground water supplies.
