Harlesiel pumping station
The Harlesiel pumping station was built between 1953 and 1957 and is the temporary completion of a centuries-long dike in Harle Bay . Today it separates the outer from the inner harbor in Harlesiel . Locks are built in for the passage .
function
The Harle Bay area is drained by the Harlesiel pumping station . The four turbines can pump a maximum of 54,000 m³ of water per hour from the deep into the storage polder and fill it within just six hours. At low tide , the access to Wangersiel is opened so that the Harle can drain freely into the Wadden Sea. In the early days a guard was responsible for the system, today the pumping station is controlled by an automatic measuring system. The Harlesiel pumping station now drains an area of 22,000 hectares from a water network three hundred kilometers in length.
