Excerpt from the text:
"Explosive gases can develop in the sewer system, making it necessary to minimize this danger by supplying air. The ventilation requirement is met by the "Nessy Family." Invisible from the surface, approximately 1,550 kilometers of canals wind beneath the Düsseldorf city limits, ensuring that wastewater and rainwater reach the two sewage treatment plants. A sophisticated infrastructure, which is made visible by the Nessy family as a kind of extension, a cheerful "sea monster."
