And although the retention basin does its job, it can happen that the fields in the background are flooded again and again. Then the water is in the fields.

The flood retention basin Ebbinghausen is a flood retention basin of the water association Upper Lippe (WOL) on the Sauer between Ebbinghausen and Atteln in the North Rhine-Westphalian circle Paderborn and belongs to the catchment area of Lippe and Rhine.

As a "green pool", in which normally no water is, it serves the flood protection of the places located below the basin - like Atteln.

Because the Sauer often leads to heavy flooding, such as between 15 and 17 July 1965 at the flood of Heinrich, and flooded large parts of the adjacent and downstream villages, a flood retention basin was built on their lower reaches below Ebbinghausen, which absorbs excess sour water ,
