The canal mainly serves to keep the Rhenish lignite opencast mines near Frechen. In addition, he supports the drainage of the Rhein-Erft district and takes in the cleaned waste water from the sewage treatment plants in Pulheim, Frechen, Hürth and the Cologne districts of Esch, Auweiler, Pesch and Widdersdorf.
