Water as a natural system

Geomorphology, typologies and dynamics of water areas

• Describe the water areas of your area in the contxt of the wider water system

The pulling lake is several artificial lakes in the southern area of the upper bavarian district. the bonds are on the both sides of Pulling – Achering road. The water surface of the larger southern lake is 24 hectares, and the smaller lake 6.3 hectares.

• How does water appear in the landscape of your living lab? What types of water areas are common?

The source of the water is the underground water and the 4 lakes were created through many years of gravel mining. The two eastern lakes were taken over by the recreation area association and converted into bathing lakes. Sunbathing areas, parking spaces and a kiosk were created on the north and south bank

• Please identify the water bodies' catchment areas, tributaries and floodplains

pulling ponds were created through gravel mining and therefore have no above-ground inflows or outflows

• Which dynamics do these water areas have?

Actually, The status of water ponds is some how static because they does not have any flows. But the surrounded shore have some dynamic activities. There is a big gravel processing factory in the north ,,,, it was established at 1954 where sands and gravels containing quartz are extracted or processed there. The two eastern lakes were taken over by the recreation area association and converted into bathing lakes. Sunbathing areas, parking spaces and a kiosk were created on the north and south banks. Only so limited number of services, just one restaurant and one car parking places in the north.

• Have there been any flood events in the past?

No flooding occurred before in Pulling Lakes because the water source is groundwater. But due to the close proximity of the lakes to the River Isar, it is possible that this region was affected by the historical floods of the Isar. In 1813, during the annual flooding cities along the Isar were flooded again and again, causing severe damage and even killing people along the river banks.

Water as a living space

• Which habitats can be found in and along the water areas of your area?

During our site visits we just noticed a few number of ducks, singing birds and soil insects but we did not notice fishes even in lakes where they stopped the excavation work there

• How is the water quality in your water areas?

Excavations have been stopped in the two western lakes and that is why the quality of water is better than the two eastern lakes. These artificial lakes provide many ecosystem services to humans. These include provisioning services, such as fish yield, as well as a range of cultural services, such as recreation

• Which areas are still natural, which are urbanised/artificial?

The whole site is artificial, starting from the industrial activity (gravel mining) reaching to the surrounded intensive agriculture land . Although the benefits of water-based recreation can be substantial, water-based activities have also negatively impact the biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems. For example, human activities can reduce littoral and riparian habitat quality and thereby negatively affect associated taxa . Water-based recreation has also been found to negatively impact birds through fright responses to humans , dogs or pleasure boats . Therefore, the management of gravel pit lakes and other artificial water bodies would benefit from the joint consideration of the well-being aquatic recreation generates for humans and the possible negative biodiversity impacts from aquatic recreation.

Land use and water

• map the land uses along your water areas: settlements, infrastructure, agriculture, resource extraction, natural areas, energy production...
• describe in particular the historical evolution of land use pattern, please make use of historical maps'

The land use was basically a grassland and then the excavation work started after that the underground water appeared then shaped the current water landscape '

• description evolution, status quo and driving forces, is the land use likely to change? Why is that? (approx 200 signs)

In the areas with the excavation work, yes, and it will be a series of lakes and in the current lakes more activities and cultural elements could be added to enhance the land use''

Cultural and spatial typologies of water areas

• Which spatial patterns have evolved in relation to your water areas?'It developed through the excavation work flow from an industrial site to a water landscape which consists of several lakes separated by paths, and a restaurant and some recreational facilities were then added so the place at the moment is considered as a recreational destination. '
• What is the role of water areas within the overall urban morphology?'Pullinger Weiher is considered as one of the most attractive recreational areas in Freising and it has good potential to be more attractive' (approx 200 signs)

Sacred spaces and heritage

• Which places/elements hold cultural value and to whom? 'At the moment there is no cultural value for the area but there is a big potential to add more cultural elements and activities to enhance or the add a cultural value to this territory'
• You may add a map and some images, please also explain in your caption why these elements are valuable

Visual appearance and landscape narrative

• Which elements are essential for the landscape character?'The excavation factory in the background is essential, it is not an attractive point to focus on but it is the base of the whole landscape, the big open lakes with the surrounding grass lands add a good composition of blue and green infrastructure and together they make an essential image for the landscape'
• Has the landscape been painted or otherwise depicted, when and whom? Which elements are essential?'Unfortunately,No'
• Which narratives exist? Who has written about this landscape or depicted it in some way?'No narratives at the moment but hopefully in future with the new added cultural elements some narratives could be written'

Community Mapping

What is to be mapped here?

• Social groups from within the community, for example the youth, kids, students, parents, the retired etc. Typically, these groups have specific needs, which you can also make explicit on the map. These people might not be organized in any way, but they are usually present in the context you are observing
• Local stakeholder groups: these groups are organized in one or the other way. They only exist within the community context you are observing. For example: the local community center, local churches, local interest groups, the landowners, small businesses and retailers
• External stakeholder groups are not necessarily present in the environment you are observing, but they may have strong stakes and interests. These can be local authorities, politicians, associations, care services etc.
• For each group, you may identify their needs, objectives, power and capacities
• You may also identify gaps and power conflicts
• Please try to redepict these elements in an integrated way and in relation to your water landscape. What is the relationship between these groups? Are they close or distanced from each other? Who is more powerful? Which voices are hardly heard? Do they have any shared concerns?
