During my time at vocational school in Neunkirchen in the late 1970s, the Schwarza was still full of water. Below Hirschwang, the Schwarza is repeatedly dammed and the water diverted into industrial sewers. Now there is so little water that in the Neunkirchen area and other stretches of the river, the riverbed only carries water during floods.
Hydropower can also be overused; a cautionary example can be seen here in Neunkirchen.
