Hydrological optimization in the polder Mönkebude

New dam panel

In the polder Mönkebude, the dam in front of the Malbusen was repaired. This allows the water levels to be permanently set at a high level (-0.1 to - 0.4 m NHN) in the entire polder. Previously, this was only possible to a limited extent by adjusting the lamella oft he pumping station.

In order to enable access at higher water levels, the gangway was positioned higher and got repaired.
