Polder Löhrwardt Hydraulic Project
Highlight • Structure
The natural outflow at the pumping stations depends on the respective Rhine water level. This means that the Rhine water level must be below the outflowing water in the ditches and landwehrs. If this is not the case and the Rhine level is higher, the natural outflow is disrupted and not possible. To prevent Rhine water from entering the association's area, the floodgates are closed.
Once the outflow is disrupted and natural outflow can no longer occur, for example, because the Rhine water level is higher than that of the landwehrs, water must be artificially pumped (drawn) from the hinterland into the Rhine using pumps.
The relocation of the dikes results in changes in the sluice and groundwater conditions. In addition, the rerouting of some of the association's waterways and the reactivation of old water structures will be necessary, which will also impact existing water management conditions, necessitating the construction of the "Polder Lohrwardt" (PL) pumping station as part of the Lohrwardt dike relocation project.

Lohrwardt Polder Outflow Structure
Highlight • Structure
As part of the "ecological planning" for polder operation, the inlet structure is part of the continuous system spanning the Rhine, Lake Roosenhof, Lake Lohrwardt (= Grindsee), Reeser Altrhein, and the connection downstream to the Rhine. The entire system of inlet structure-culvert-outlet structure also serves to ensure fish passage in and out of the summer polder, including a fish trapping and monitoring station and a fully automated process control system for the water level and flow systems. Appropriate closure devices (dike gate, channel gate, and stop log closure) are planned for the "retention polder" operation scenario. When planning the inlet structure for the purpose of ecological flooding, the geometric, static, and visual aspects and dimensions, as well as the type of system and control technology, were adapted to the conditions already established in the pumping station, particularly for reasons of maintenance and operational safety.
