Eager beaver floods 1 hectare of woodland | VRT NWS: news

A dam built by a beaver on the Tappelbeek on the boundary between Ramst and Zandhoven in Antwerp Province has caused the flooding of around a hectare of woodland. The dam prevents water in the Tappelbeek from being able to flow and the water is ending up in the adjacent woods. Bianca Verhaert of the Integrated Water Policy Unit told VRT News that simply removing the dam would be no use at all as the beaver would just build a new one within 48 hours.
