, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dortmund / Castrop-Rauxel - Renaturalisation of the Emscher at the HRB Mengede flood retention basin. The Emscher, which is currently straightened (pictured here), will regain its curves and then meander through its new floodplain. After the construction of a parallel sewer, the Emscher will be completely free of sewage since 2022. The river was previously an open, above-ground combined sewer with rainwater and sewage.
