The cultural weir helps to regulate the water level in the Rhine and to supply the old branches of the Rhine that were cut off during the Rhine expansion with fresh water.
The greatest benefit, however, is flood protection. This weir can drain many millions of m³ of water into the adjacent polders. This can mitigate a flood wave and prevent flooding downstream of the Rhine.
Information boards are available. There is also a rest area.
