Wow, this is really inspiring. I have a property with a creek that is eroding like this, although at a much smaller scale. It's basically just a muddy channel with fast flowing water. Definitely interested in trying to restore it this way, creating more wildlife habitat and rejuvenating the area.
The main reason why groundwater gets depleted is because of so much concrete and pavement around all channeling it out of the city and into the nearest main drainage system......rainwater never gets a chance to soak back into the ground Restoring watersheds help recharge the water table by slowing down the discharged water
I have a creek like this on my property. It turns out that the house next door ran their downspouts buried, all the way to the banks of my stream before I bought his parcel of land and had a home built on it. My house is closer to my own creek than the neighbor's house but mine exit in my lawn above the creek with a barrier of tall vegetation in between the pop up drain emitters and the banks of my stream. The neighbor, now a new neighbor, but using the same down spout extensions, has cleared all his vegetation and started clearing some of mine. That's how I found this pipe sticking out of the bank. I asked him to move it and he said I was crazy, he ain't moving it. Then I started poking around and found ore. These buried pipes have been there for 12 years. I have no diea why he is so committed to keeping them active versus just cutting them on his side and attaching a pop up. I can't imagine it's good for the stream to have a 5,000 square foot house dumping all that storm water directly into her.
@@markthompson180 I just told him to please move them and after three months of waiting I hired a downspout guy to come out and cut them inside his property line and gifted him a couple pop up drains. In my state it's not necessary explicitly illegal but has been deemed to be not a legally protected conveyance of water. We suspect they were setting the pretext for adverse possession of our land.
I wish Howard County cared about their watersheds as much as the rest of MD. They allowed developers to decimate Ellicott City, and they're currently going to do the same to the flood plain next to Main St. in Laurel.
I know they used to have beavers in between Harbor center and festival at Riva shopping centers. I dont know if they were put there on purpose or lived there before they built the shopping centers. but I saw a dead one on 665 a couple of years ago and since then I dont see them anymore
This looks great intentionally, but it was difficult to see this as not an expensive engineering/restoration project. Urban residential water filtration $/results captures and filter water elemnts such as nitrogen much more cost effectively.
This is a money making thing they dont care they are actually buying parts of these lands as well means he owns a piece and tells the original full owner what he can and can't do.

You could make a human beaver dam. Like make a dam with some large stakes and make a wall of branches or rocks with that.

Two thumbs up, way up! It must be great knowing that your work makes everything better! KUDOS!
It would be great to be served knowledge that is not drowned out by music.
Wow! I'm not alone! I'd like to strangle the fool who started ruining videos by using this mind numbing noise!
Good project. Include more people... Farmer, normal citizens,... for the new mindset ♺ greetings from germany
There no place more beautiful than Bavaria! And it's kept that way by the people living there, southern Germany is heaven on earth!

Depending on your state, what he's doing might be illegal.

Get rid of the culvert and bring back beavers.
Just add beavers and walk away. Don't mess with them. They are the ultimate hydrology engineers.
ohh different muddy creek. different state.
Relocate the beavers there, they will restore the place.
As a past resident of Annapolis it is gratifying to see this.
Fantastic work!

Good work!
why simulate beaver dams when you have beavers?
Idiots in our country don't know turd when it comes to stream restoration, please come from Denmark and help.
beavers dont care about human infrastructure and would flood out roads/highways/homes with your theory.
You guys should look at little sister creek.

Bravo
release BEAVERS in there
nice
Really need to create more jobs to save our watersheds
STOP URBAN SPRAWL
waste of resources. nothing changed in that thing
of course not. it's a government project.
wasting resources is the point.
