Mike takes on a major water management challenge involving a massive beaver dam that has flooded several acres of land. Using a Komatsu PC138 excavator, he strategically breaches the dam to release the water in a controlled manner, preventing a flash flood downstream. The video captures the immense volume of water being released and the final cleanup of the debris once the area has drained.
