🦫 Beaver Watershed: Dam Cascade, Storm Hydrographs, Dry-Season Storage and Domino Failure

Three beaver dams on one stream: NRCS curve-number runoff makes a flood wave, level-pool routing through the ponds cuts and delays the peak, dams leak and spill, a hard storm breaks them one by one, and a 30-day dry spell shows what the ponds release and recharge.
