Damming the Aa generates electricity, and the flow rate can be measured. The water screw is also known as the Archimedes screw. ;-)

In Krechting we have brought the use of hydropower from the past back into the present. Where there used to be a mill, we have built a modern hydroelectric power plant. The Archimedean screw is designed in such a way that fish can safely pass through it. The complex is rounded off by a fish ladder, which enables the river dwellers to ascend and descend, thus significantly improving the living conditions in the river. The optimal functionality of the fish ladder was calculated in cooperation with the Bocholt University of Applied Sciences and is regularly monitored by the local fishing clubs. A trap was installed in the upper area of the fish ladder to monitor the actual fish migration behavior. Since 2006 we have been able to generate up to 250,000 kWh with this system. Converted, this corresponds to an annual consumption of up to 80 households. The facility is located directly on the Aa cycle route and is a popular destination.

In 2006, the town of Rhede commissioned the first hydrodynamic screw on the Bocholter Aa. Another plant started operations in 2012 as the river progressed.
