The Emscher as a wastewater-free river. What seemed unthinkable two generations ago is reality here and now. The upper reaches of the Emscher in the east of Dortmund thus offer a glimpse of what will apply to the entire river in a few years. As a near-natural river with few barriers, the Emscher will again become a habitat for animals and plants. And thus also for people to relax, as is already a matter of course here.

More information about the wastewater-free future of the Emscher can be found here: eglv.de/emscher.
