These arial photos show beaver dams blocking off the inflow of water into Muriel Lake via the stream from the south-eastern side of the lake. In the 1980s a Muriel Lake resident remembers that this stream flowed very strongly into the lake. There is now almost zero water entering past these beaver dams.
- "Water is integral to supporting and maintaining life on this planet as it moderates the climate, creates growth and shapes the living substance of all of Earth’s creatures. It is the tide of life itself, the sacred source." ~ David Suzuki (1997) The Sacred Balance
