Bottrop, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - The Emscher River has been completely free of wastewater since January 2022 following the construction of a parallel sewer. The river, here next to the A42 highway, was previously an open, above-ground sewer for wastewater, combined sewer with surface water and sewage. On the left, tank farm at the port of Bottrop.
