For centuries, floods and flood disasters have repeatedly occurred in the river valleys, especially in spring and autumn. Storm surges pushed enormous volumes of water from the North Sea into the rivers, often resulting in flooding lasting weeks. The damage to agriculture was enormous.

Until the first half of the last century, attempts to control the water overload with wind-dependent water pumping mills were unsuccessful. Only the construction of the Leda Barrage near Leer in 1954 and the associated reorganization of drainage in the Leda-Jümme area brought a sustainable solution.

Today, modern pumping stations with powerful, electronically controlled pumps ensure a constant water level in the lowland areas, some of which lie below sea level.
