In the Ise catchment area, which is characterized by agricultural use, the initiation of an ecologically oriented further development of the natural area in the sense of a revitalization was tested, which allows the inherent dynamics of the waters while at the same time using the floodplain in a way that protects nature.

Dam or trickle meadows Through the coupling, the farmers became owners between 1857 and 1866. Around 1871, several of these owners came together to flood their meadows in the Bruno Valley in the winter months by installing an irrigation system with the help of weirs, a ditch system and previously leveled areas. The suspended particles in the water settle and fertilize the soil. In addition, the water that was dammed until after the Ice Saints (mid-May) prevented the young grass from freezing due to night frosts. Thanks to the reservoir meadow culture, the quantities of hay harvested were ultimately so large that the hussar barracks in Celle and Braunschweig could be supplied with it. It was only with the advent of artificial fertilizer and harvesting machines that damming operations were gradually stopped from 1932 onwards.
