      Have you ever tried to work with the beavers? Like where they dam then put pipes in the ground so some water all ways can get around the damn? 3 or 4 pipes on each side about the with of your hand should let a good amount of water to always flow but allowing them to back some water up to help the wild life.

    Regular viewers of this channel may be interested to know that in Lithuania, artificial drainage is a common agricultural practice and the the country is one of the most extensively drained in the world. The total drained land area occupies nearly half of the country's land area and over three-quarters of the agricultural land area so there are a lot of ditches to maintain. In view of this and the fact that beavers in Lithuania are a protected species it results in a lot of dams in the drainage ditches, many of which cause problems for farms by raising the local water table.
    Mantas does good work in clearing the dams, particularly the old and big ones like the dam in this video. I've watched most of his videos and the drop in water level after the ponds are drained is always massive.

      I've been wondering why the farmers don't take care of the drainage ditches themselves. If it was my land I'd do what ever it took to keep the ground free of standing pools of water. And since it doesn't seem they do, I guess there's a good reason for that?

      I am from the USA and the first thing I learned is that there are beavers in Europe. When studying American history before the colonization really got started by England starting in 1607, there were French trappers all over North America killing beavers for the pelts to send back to Europe. For some reason that made me think the beaver pelts were a novelty in Europe. I have since learned that beavers in North America, who are bigger than their European cousins, were both hunted to near extinction and are protected because of that.
      There is a UA-camr Post10 who mostly clears beaver dams from culverts in Maine, which is the northern most part of the east coast of North America. Park rangers patrol the area where a lot of logging is done. When they need to get rid of some beavers that are causing flooding on roads used by big logging trucks, they don’t kill them but trap them and relocate them so their dams can create needed habitat in a different place.

As someone who has a heritage in the Baltic Region, it is wonderful to see these videos. Grandpa was from Gdansk and Grandma was from Bohemia. The most beautiful and wonderful woman that I dated was a first generation from Lituania (her parents came from Vilnius). She was absolutely beautiful. So I know that your wife is a wonderful and beautiful woman. You are a fortunate man. May you be blessed your entire life.

    The bottom up usually is more successful , you are removing the sticks that hold the mud that holds the water. If you want to make a more dramatic collapse, keep digging into the dam at the same level as the base of the dam and work your way up.

    That was a dangerous dam all the way around. The height meant you had some serious water pressure behind it. The age made it unpredictable from rotting structures to leaks. Did you dig out the mud on the water side any before taking sticks out ? Mažė would not be happy if Tetis got injured. Especially if he could not play or work enough for her to edit videos.
