Beavers in the wild build dams of sticks and dirt across streams and brooks, blocking the flow of water and forming ponds and wetlands. This behavior can cause conflicts with people when beaver dams flood roadways and property. If the dam is destroyed, the beavers will rebuild, because when they hear running water, their instinct is to dam it. Engineers cleverly resolved this issue by designing a special pipe that is inserted through the middle of a beaver dam. The pipe's end is located away from the dam and fenced off, so beavers can't block it. Water flows through the pipe, both preserving the beaver's pond habitat and protecting people's property.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The text primarily uses a **problem-solution** organizational structure. It presents the problem of beavers causing conflicts with people by flooding roadways and property due to their dam-building behavior. It then offers a solution in the form of a specially designed pipe that allows water to flow through the beaver dam while preserving the habitat and protecting human property.
