      a look at the inlet structure of the Muldestausee

      The Muldestausee is a flooded open pit in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld / Saxony-Anhalt district. Its locations are Friedersdorf, Schlaitz, Pouch and Mühlbeck. With a surface area of 6.3 km², it is the fourth largest body of water in Saxony-Anhalt. Its length is approx. 9 km, its widest point 2 km, the greatest depth 35 m.
      After the mining of the Muldenstein open-cast mine (1954–1975), the trough had to be moved over a distance of about eleven kilometers in order to expand the Goitzsche open-cast mine (today's Großer Goitzschesee). Part of the new course of the river was laid through the carburized Muldenstein open-cast mine. The flooding took place from April 30, 1975 to March 1, 1976. The Muldestausee has an inlet and an outlet structure.
      The normal water level is around 79 m above sea level. NN at approx. 110 million m³ storage volume. The role of the Mulde reservoir as a flood retention basin is insignificant. However, the pool can temporarily withhold 15 million m³ at times (difference between total storage space and storage space). As a result, it is not actually a reservoir, but a river dam. As the flow velocity slows down when the trough flows in, the Mulde reservoir is a sedimentation trap into which approx. 400,000 t of solids (gravel, sand, silt) are introduced annually. The river lacks these solids when it leaves the outlet structure, which leads to a deepening of the river bed of the lower trough and has ecological effects.
