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 wastewater canal, combined sewer with surface water and sewage. On the left on the Rhine-Herne Canal, the Port of Bottrop and City Port of Essen.
