Description/Comments:
This stream table explores infrastructure and how it fares under high flows. In this video, we start with human infrastructure, then gradually replace it with beaver dams. Note the differences in downward erosion during each period. Watch the drought around 0:25-0:26 to see what the beaver ponds do.
