He got wind of the big brown beaver so he thought he'd take himself a peek, but the beaver was quick and he grabbed him by the kiwis, and he ain't pissed for a week
The way if seen it done is the pipe is near the bottom of the dam and gose out past on the dry side about 30 feet. then 90s straight up and you cut the pipe off at the level you want the pond to be.
Probably because of the expense and the need to build a support for the 90. Also, would the beavers try to destroy this "thing" protruding from their dam?
I tried to install one of these pipes and found it impossible to submerge, even after drilling 2 opposite holes in each rib. How exactly did you cut it?
Im not exactly sure how this works. How exactly does the leveler work if it sits higher then the water level? Is the current water level the max height you want the pond?
Beaver only block areas along the damn where water is flowing over the top. By directing the overflow through a pipe, the Beaver stop building the damn higher and higher once the water is flowing through the overflow. What i don't understand is why they didn't extend the pipe to the bottom of the other side.
@@bikebrains So the beaver are more likely to plug a drain pipe when it's exiting way below the damn than they are to block it when the discharge is right on top of the dam? That makes absolutely no sense.
I agree that it doesn't seem to make sense, but often things that work are counter intuitive. The water flowing over the dam is flowing into the pipe is on the bottom of the pond far from the dam, so the beavers don't feel the inflow. I suspect they hear the outflow, but they have no way of blocking it. After three days of very heavy rain last week, that caused areas of the Lamprey River to flood the banks, water in the pond raise to where there were 6 places where water was flowing over the dam. The beavers stopped the flow in 5 places. The 6th was the pond leveler pipe. Since they couldn't find the source of the flow, they didn't touch the pipe. All the could sense was the outflow at the bottom of the dam. Trying to stop it would be like trying to stop a water fall by piling mud at the bottom of the waterfall. They don't even try. I can just imagine them sitting around the lodge at night drinking beaver beer and cursing about the one leak they can't fix. Seriously thorough, the pipe had been in place for three and a half years and we have never seen any evidence that they bother the pipe. The try like crazy to get into the culvert protection cage to get to the culvert pipes from either the intake or outflow side of the pipe, but find little or no success.
Good observation. The inflow is protected with a beaver deceiver. The outflow side is protected with steel mesh. Since the beavers have no way of putting sticks in the culvert, the try using grass, rocks, and mud which often wash away the following day. It required an hour or two of maintenance during the spring and summer. This spring, we will be installing a deceiver on the outflow side and the system will hopefully be zero maintenance.
The clowns were learning from the master. It was teacher and students, not ring master and clowns (though I've been rightly called a clown on numerous occasions.)
It's basically a siphon system to keep the pond level from rising. If the pond level rises to within 6 inches of the top of the dam, the water will flow through the pipe to keep the pond at the level it was on the day we installed it. That was in 2015, and a lot of water has flowed through it since then. I'm not sure that the beavers actually ignore it, as much as they can't do anything about it. The hear and see the water flowing at the base of the dam, but don't know the source is at the top of the dam. To them, it's like a waterfall that can't be dammed. This summer, we are having a drought and as of last week the pond level is down over 2 feet. We've had some rain this week, but there still has to be more before any more water will flow.
Kevin MacLeod had a lot of great Creative Commons music at incompetech.com . Here's a link to his silent film collection. incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?genre=silent%20film%20score
Correct! To provide a bit more detail, the pond level is being kept where it is to minimize the chance of possible wash out of the road that is only about 20 feet from the dam. It also allows the lower pond to rise. In the long term, this helps improve the water table and the diversity of wildlife .
gary24752 water seeks its own level. So as the pond Rises the water will flow over the dam through the pipe. Because the pond level rises slowly the pipe can handle the flow. Water begins flowing through the pipe well before the pond level reaches the top of the dam. The only way there would be a problem would be if we had a deluge that comes maybe once in a thousand years. The pond levellers is based upon literally thousands of installations around the country. However sometimes it is counterintuitive when you first see it. In NJ
Thanks for the comment, Jay. The cut doesn't impact the integrity of the pipe. The pipe is a double wall pipe. It's a slit along the rib that allows air that is between the two pipes to escape. Otherwise the pipe would float. Even so, you'll notice the pipe is weighted by cinder blocks to keep it on the bottom.
Beavers are a serious problem just about everywhere in the eastern US and in a few places in the west. Here in North Florida beavers have gone from a curiosity to a menace in less than 15 years. Most people think you can just trap or shoot them out but those options don’t work and it’s unpleasant in any case. They are rodents and simply repopulate as such. I have considered many ways of coping with beavers on my own property but haven’t settled on a solution; I have read mix reviews on pond levelers. I see that perforated pipe is not being used here which probably helps. Are they trying to block up the cage around the inlet? Thanks for continued monitoring of comments. You’re doing a community service.
Flow control devices designed and constructed by Mike Callahan are 97% effective. Ours has been functioning flawlessly since 2015. As long at there is at lease 3 feet of water, the intake cage is large enough to prevent the beavers from feeling the intake and making any effort to dam the cage.

We have drainages out west that are on the order of 20 sq. miles, so we end up using larger 18 inch pipes. I have never seen the trick of plugging the outfall with the sticks.
Seeing how Beavers take it as a personal insult when they hear running water,does the camouflaging of the fall pipe quite the sound or they just don't see where it's coming from? I am going to see if my brother-in-law knows about this method(he manages 20,000acrers in upstate NY for S.U.N.Y.). He always refers to them as "Pesky Beavers" whenever he talks about them!
I think to answer your question with certainty, you would have to ask the beavers, but they have not bothered the pipe since it was installed 2 years ago. Here are some resources that your brother-in-law can tap to find out all he needs to know about managing beavers and attaining win-win solutions. Mike Callahan of BeaverSolutions.com installed it and thousands of others that have been 97% effective. He also started the non-profit, BeaverInstitute.org and curates the Facebook Beaver Management Forum, facebook.com/groups/339105817425/ which helped me build my first culvert protection cage, which has been working like a charm since 2011.
I have heard my brother-in-law complaining about beavers plugging the culverts and washing out the roads also his deal is forestry(trees as a renewable resource) so I am sure he doesn't like excessive flooding! He is a "Tree Hugger" but he has to coexist with the"Bunny Huggers"at the University so this seems like a good compromise! Thank you l will let him know about the links! By the way maternal grandfather's name was Wolin from Gothenburg Sweden.
Right you are. Each solution depends on water flow and other conditions. The process you describe works well if the dam they build will not threaten property as water backs up behind it. If land is threatened, a trapezoidal beaver deceiver that prevents damming but allows water to flow through the culvert is the best way to go.
david Reynolds it's all physics. Water seeks its own level. It may not be obvious, but the bottom of the pipe is set 6 inches below the top of the dam. As the pond level rises, so does the level of the water in the pipe. As soon as it gets 6 inches from the top of the water flows over the dam, thus maintaining the pond level.
The water in the pond will be as high as the bottom of that pipe. Which means the Beaver have to build the dam up higher for it to work, otherwise the water will go over the dam. You set the pipe practically on top of the dam.

To Art Wolinsky - Thank you for protecting the beavers and providing a home for other wildlife. Thank you for posting this video so that others can find a solution to co exist with the amazing beavers. I believe in undirected evolution, however the beaver appears to be purpose built and had to be invented to fulfill a missing need.
Ah, but we are not destroying it. We are enhancing it, and co-existing with the beavers. The pond leveler maintains the upper pond at it's current level. This saves the condo property, allows the beavers to maintain the dam easier, and grows the lower pond twice as faster. ;-)
@@ArtWolinsky Yes, I saw that from the rest of the video. When I saw this, I thought you planed to remove the dam and place the pipe so the Beaver's could repair the dam. Still, I think it would annoy the beavers, while you are wearing Oregon State (Beavers) colors. The Ducks are the rival school here.
The pipe prevents the pond from growing by allowing water to flow over the dam in such a way that the beavers ignore the flow and don't attempt to stop it.

michael ray Yeah but it’s not fair you can still manage them and keep the water low I love when a bill dance on my property up in Clinton New York I can play hockey on the pond they make
After two years, beavers kick their young out to go elsewhere and build their own lodge. They will travel over land up to 50 miles to find a new home. If we got rid of our beavers, it would just leave a vacancy for some other beavers to fill. Besides it is much more cost effective to put in the culvert protection and pond leveler. It's a one time solution that maintains the pond at levels we choose and gives us all the ecological benefits of the wildlife and water quality supported by the actions of the beavers.
Thank You,Art for the knowledgeable response.I do not suggest or advocate getting rid of any Beavers or their friends.And I do get the intent of the leveling system.I never knew anyone did this or that there was a need for it.Quite fascinating.So let me explain my comment.Clearly you are not a Simpsons fan.That quote was purely a Simpsons reference from an episode where the Simpsons visited a native American reservation and casino.I found it hilarious.
Since you have beavers,I must ask.Are they dangerous to be around?A friend of mine told me they are 50+ lb rodents with a very nasty attitude.Aside from building dams and affecting waterways,are they otherwise destructive/constructive?
They seldom get bigger than 40 pounds. They are territorial when it come to other beavers and will protect their claim, but are not aggressive. There are very few reports of beaver attacks, however they have serious teeth and can defend themselves.. The beavers improve the quality of the water table and improve the ecosystem. The only problems arise went the interests of people trump the interests of nature. Beaver create ecosystems and build land. Humans destroy ecosystems and cause erosion.
The installation was complete and 100% successful. The reason water was not running is because instead of waiting until we had to lower the level of the pond, we installed it to maintain the level it was at the time of installation. During spring thaw and substantial rain, the water flows beautifully. Between the culvert protection cage and the pond leveler, we have been beaver conflict free since 2011.
Outstanding.
Love to see these types of solutions. Especially for the astonishing beaver.
Well done.
Excellent work resulted in an excellent solution to a beaver caused water problem.
Beautiful view
living in DC, just understand that you living so close to a beaver and that it has its own pond is really cool.. wow..
The beavers and the pond weighed heavily in our choice of homes.
I get it! Put that pipe there so the water rises no further than the pipe. The beavers build and build but the water goes out that pipe. Cool!
