He said there had been plans to spend money on flood prevention measures in Greenford but the beavers were offered as a "cost-effective, nature based" solution. " will turn this into a sponge where the land will hold more water behind their dams, in their ponds in these complex wetlands, and it will release slowly."The area where the beavers have been released will be closed to the public for one month to allow the animals to settle in.
