Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements—which, on the one hand, were helpful and useful, but on the other hand, as untamed forces of nature, could also be a threat—for various purposes, thus eliminating the need for human or animal muscle power. Mills such as these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: The heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by wind or—as in this case—water.

The Federal Ballastières ponds are located on the Lys basin, in the territory of the commune of Aire sur la Lys. These old ballast pits, resulting from the extraction of ballast, are today at the heart of a vast natural area of approximately 109 hectares.
