Fascinating water landscape: The Petersfehn retention basin from the air

Title, description and subtitles in German and English
Petersfehn retention basin
The flood retention basin is located 8.5 km above the mouth of the Haaren at the confluence of the Haaren and the Putthaaren.
With a maximum water level of NN + 6.50 m, around 650,000 m³ can be stored on a flooded area of ​​70 hectares in this valley. The backwater level is generally limited by the natural slopes. In the east, a dam with a crown height of NN + 7.50 m has been built across the Haarental, and in the south a dam at NN + 7.00 m has been partially built to protect against the “Woldlinie” road.
The crest of the main dam is paved to a width of 3.00 m for maintenance work and repairs. Public transport is not permitted on this route.
The annual summer flood of the Haaren has a peak runoff of around 70 l/s · km². A peak discharge of 127 l/s · km² must be expected every 10 years.
With a water level of NN + 5.00 m, the basin holds 165,000 m³ with 17 hectares of flooded area. With a storage height of NN + 6.00 m, the pool volume increases to 360,000 m³ with a flooded area of ​​45 hectares, and with the maximum dam height of NN + 6.50 m, 70 ha will be flooded with a pool volume of 650,000 m³.
The entire system and the weir construction are designed in such a way that a maximum storage target of NN + 6.75 m could be achieved with a pool capacity of around 850,000 m³.
More than flood protection:
In addition to its main task as a flood retention basin, the Petersfehner Basin also offers space for nature and local recreation.
Nature: Due to the extensive grazing and mowing of the riparian areas, species-rich meadows and habitats for many plants and animals have developed.
Local recreation: The area is accessible through a network of hiking and cycling trails and invites you to take part in a variety of leisure activities. Piers allow boat trips on the Haaren.
