Hydrological optimization in the project area Großer Wotig

After reed overgrown meadows were mowed in the last years in the northern part of the Großer Wotig and in the Pastorwiesen, a survey was carried out in 2020 by drone flights.

These areas were not adequately mapped due to the reed beds.

Based on the survey, hydrological optimization of the drainage paths in the northern and central parts of the island Großer Wotig and in the Pastorwiesen were carried out in August 2021.

The aim was to ensure unhindered water exchange. With the help of a mini-excavator, four existing tideway structures in the meadows of the area Pastorwiesen were strengthened over a length of 501 m. On the island of Großer Wotig, a total of 27 tideway sections ( alltogether 1572 m) and one crossing were rehabilitated and one new crossing was created.
