The Harle Bay area is drained by the Harlesiel pumping station. The four turbines can pump a maximum of 54,000 m³ of water per hour from the deep into the storage polder and fill it within just six hours. At low tide, the access to Wangersiel is opened so that the Harle can drain freely into the Wadden Sea. While a guard was responsible for the system in the beginning, today the pumping station is controlled by an automatic measuring system. The Harlesiel pumping station now drains an area of 22,000 hectares from a water network three hundred kilometers in length.

The Harlesiel pumping station was built between 1953 and 1957 and is the preliminary conclusion of a centuries-long ditching of the Harlebucht. It separates today the exterior of the inland port in Harlesiel. For the passage locks are installed (Wikipedia).

The pumping station which pumps the water from the Harle into the North Sea also serves as a sluice for the ships that want to enter or leave the marina and the museum harbor in Carolinensiel in the North Sea.
