For decades, the Hofsteder Bach in Bochum was primarily used for sewage disposal.[3] Most of it is piped, the rest straightened and bedded in concrete. Only now, as part of the ecological conversion of the Emscher system, is the above-ground part of the Hofsteder Bach (approx. 1.8 km) being renatured.
