Fresh drinking water is scarce in the marsh, and in the years 1842-1965 the two snail mills pumped water up from the river, which through an open ditch system, the so-called "water gray", provided the cattle on the meadows with drinking water. The mills were operated in a community between the farmers with land in the meadows.
The first mills were wooden, but after a renovation in 1890 they were rebuilt in iron.
Ever since Ballum Meadows was drained in 1970, it has been irrigated by self-acting pumps.
