Physical dimensions and hydrologic effects of beaver ponds on Kuiu Island in southeast Alaska

Creator:

Beedle, David L.

Abstract:

Dimensional characteristics of 44 beaver dams and ponds on Kuiu Island in Southeast Alaska were determined to evaluate the hydrologic effects of these structures on peak flows. The study area consisted of low gradient, incised streams in broad U-shaped valleys. Pond routing simulations were conducted using four return intervals (2-,...
