The monitoring and control of widely spread external facilities (sluice structures) is not possible via manual on-site operation

The water level in selected areas has to be verifiably kept at a certain level; external structures are located in areas with low network coverage

The solution employed has to be gradually expandable

Water is omnipresent on the North Sea peninsula of Eiderstedt and forms the basis of life in many ways. But it also is a source of potential conflict between farmers and bird conservationists. An intelligent drainage concept and the use of modern automation technology now make it possible to reconcile the protection of birds and the agricultural land use on Eiderstedt.

“This high degree of standardization and the use of widespread, common Siemens technology puts us in the fortunate position of reaching a large number of bidders in future tenders,”

Jan-Paul Bonse, Managing Director of the DHSV.

The Deich- und Hauptsielverband (DHSV for short) of Eiderstedt is in charge of flood protection and the conservation of waters. Altogether, the DHSV cares for a total area of 37,000 hectares. In winter, monthly rainfalls exceeding 100 millimeters are not uncommon on Eiderstedt. For the water to drain off again, the DHSV is responsible for the hydraulic engineering and maintenance of more than 900 kilometers of the association’s receiving waters and 57 hectares of reservoirs, and also for the supervision of 4500 kilometers of private plot ditches. For the automated water management, the most important task was to equip the external structures with suitable measurement, control, regulation and telecontrol technology. A central server for the monitoring in the DHSV offices in Garding still needed to be set up.
