Beavers continue to pile on more material until the dam slopes in a direction facing upstream. Dams can range in height from 20 cm (8 in) to 3 m (10 ft) and can stretch from 0.3 m (0.98 ft) to several hundred meters long. Beaver dams are more effective in trapping and slowly leaking water than man-made concrete dams.
