Ventilation miracle in the Ennepetalsperre: Drinking water now guaranteed to be fresh!

The Ennepetalsperre has received a decisive update in its infrastructure: the ventilation system is now functional again. After extensive repairs carried out by specialized construction divers, the 800 kilogram and seven meters in diameter in diameter was successfully installed in the dam.

The ventilation system has been in operation since the 1970s, and its repair was long overdue. This facility plays an important role in the ecological balance of the water, especially during the warmer months. Various temperature layers can form in the dam that hinder the exchange of warm and colder water. Such a phenomenon can lead to a lack of oxygen in deep water in late summer, which is of great importance for the water quality.

importance of ventilation for water quality

The function of the ventilation system is crucial for the quality of the drinking water, which is taken from the Ennepetalsperre. According to the AVU, the recovery ensures that the water in the reservoir is optimally mixed over time. This not only results in an improvement in water quality, but also a stability of the ecological conditions, which in turn benefits from other life forms.

The repair and repair of this technical facility is an excellent example of how continuous maintenance work can ensure long -term preservation and functionality of the water supply. Modern technology and the specialist knowledge of the construction divers ensure sustainable access to fresh drinking water.
