Renaturation of river systems

Project details

Project description: Renaturation of various rivers and streams in the Emscher and Lippe region.

As part of the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, the river systems of the Emscher, the Lippe, the Seseke and the Berne are being ecologically transformed. In the Emscher region, industrial and municipal wastewater was discharged in open channels of tributaries and streams into the Emscher to various wastewater treatment plants. After the laying of new sewers, the formerly wastewater-bearing rivers and streams are being renaturalised. New flood retention basins are built, dikes are raised or relocated, and new floodplain landscapes and estuaries are designed.
