For the most part isolated from the public, the Hengsen Reservoir runs directly at the waterworks between the communities of Fröndenberg, Holzwickede and Schwerte lying along the nature reserve Bahnwald. Its dimensions are about one kilometer long and 250 meters wide. Regularly accessible is the drinking water reservoir Stausee Hengsen only at a very small Uferteilstück, which can be reached from the street Lappenhausen.

Since 1908, the waterworks Hengsen is located in the Ruhr valley. 142 hectares are available as water catchment areas. Pre-purified Ruhr water is infiltrated into the underground via large infiltration basins for groundwater recharge.

In the underground, perforated drainage pipes seize the water, which consists of enriched groundwater, bank filtrate and natural groundwater, and directs it to the pumping station in free fall.
