In Canada, where the beaver (i.e. the rodent) is a national symbol, we use “beaver bafflers” (essentially a drain pipe stuck through the beaver dam) to limit the flooding.

Also, it’s silly to say it’s just “nature” when the natural predators have been removed from the equation.

I own a 12 acre lake here in Indiana, I have had trouble with beavers blocking up my spillway forever. I asked the local DNR officer if I could live trap them to take them somewhere else and he told me "They are considered rodents here, if they are creating a problem just shoot them."

I've had more fun snapping about 200 yard shots at them with iron sights on my 8MM Mauser, I will regret the day I actually kill the last one.

What and they can’t plug up the pipe? What makes this baffle so special? They’re pretty crafty little devils.
