If you can give me an approximate location - I could approximate the drainage area and guess at the stream discharge (Q). Hell, you could have those beavers confused even in the event of of a 100yr storm event if you want.
Or just shove a bunch of 12" pipes in using the trial and error method  .

Mean is 120 cfs, annual high is 400. We get about 50 inches of rain/year, mostly in late spring through summer. I have seen evapotranspiration tables but damned if I know where.
Drainage area is probably 800 acres or more of very deep, sandy soil so rain penetrates very quickly. Most of the 800 acres is in timber, though there are a few small farms, pastures, and gravel roads. There are also several farm ponds on intermittent tributaries.
Work your magic on that!
