The Brdy dam was intended to restore the area to its natural state, decades after the Czech military built a bypass gully that drained its surroundings.

The beaver version is sure to be more natural than anything a human would manage, with less disruption. Another bonus is that the officials are now incentivised to protect the beavers as they're maintaining infrastructure.
