From January 2000 to December 2001, a pumping station was built in the immediate vicinity of the Ledas barrier. The pumping station, which was planned and built by the Niedersächsische Landesbetrieb für Wasserwirtschaft, Küsten- und Naturschutz (NLWKN), has a pumping capacity of 40 m³ / s. Thus, just under 3.5 million cubic meters of water per day, which is slightly more than the total capacity of the Leeraner Speicherpolders, can be pumped out of the area behind the barrage.

The photo shows the Leda barrage in the south of the city of Leer. Pumping stations can be found further up the course of the Leda, they scoop - pump water from the canals and channels into the Leda, so that it flows into the Ems.

Very good crossing over the Leda to the railway line in the direction of Ihrhove or to Leer!
