Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is the main degradation product of glyphosate in the soil zone. AMPA has similar soil adhesion properties to glyphosate, but is considerably more stable. AMPA is degraded to carbon dioxide in soils and water. The half-life (DT50) for soils is 44 to 215 days, and for water bodies, it is 14 days.[1] The AMPA concentration was tested in 33 lakes in Schleswig-Holstein in 2008 and 2012 and was detected in 59% of the samples. The highest concentration was found in Lake Warder at 0.29 μg/L (November 2012), which exceeds the assumed drinking water precautionary limit of 0.1 μg/L several times over.

The privately owned Wardersee is crossed by the Trave River, its largest tributary. Another tributary is the Bißnitz River. One of the 15 largest lakes in Schleswig-Holstein, Wardersee is now around 45 hectares smaller than when it was surveyed in 1875. This is due to the development of the Trave River at the beginning of the 20th century, which lowered the lake's water level by one meter. This also explains the considerable expansion of the reed zone in some areas of the shoreline. The peninsula near the village of Warder, approximately 80 meters long and 55 meters wide, was an island until the Trave River was developed (around 1910). In the mid-19th century, remains of settlements were discovered on this site, dating to the period between 800 and 1150 AD. Among them are the remains of the episcopal manor house of Nezenna.

The Wardersee, together with the Kembser See, the Seedorfer See and the Seekamper See, is the remnant of an ice dam lake that was formed between terminal moraines in the west and the ice edge in the east at the end of the Weichselian glacial period.
