A "water slide" on the Damm Graben leat 1986

Where a leat had to change level suddenly the increased flow would cause scouring. To compensate for this, larch poles were placed in the leat bed to obviate this problem. Most of the Harz's leats still operate, although not for mining purposes these days.
