A discovery: Beavers in Norfolk improved water quality by 84% compared to nearby control sites. Their dams act as natural filters, helping restore one of England's rare chalk streams. Could this be a game-changer ? Stephen McNair reports 🏞️🦫 #Conservation #WaterQuality #pollution

Could beavers really rescue Norfolk’s threatened chalk streams?

Norfolk’s river Glaven is one of our rare chalk streams, and the site of an interesting experiment in environmental restoration.

Oregon is moving forward with a bill to protect beavers in certain waterways with the goal of enhancing water quality, trapping sediment, storing water, and enhancing habitat. HB 3932 just passed the House. #beavers #waterquality oregoncapitalchronicle.co….

Beaver bill moving through Oregon legislature is aimed at improving water quality • Oregon Capital Chronicle

A bill to protect Oregon beavers comes with many additional benefits, including cleaner water and fire protection, a conservationist argues.

While the EU requires advanced treatment of urban wastewater, the UK has no legal obligation to monitor microplastics or antimicrobial residues. If others have better protections, we should follow them. #WaterQuality #DirtyWater
