, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dortmund / Castrop-Rauxel - Renaturation of the Emscher, flood retention basin HRB Mengede. A new floodplain landscape for flood protection and biodiversity is being created at the Emscher-Auen farm. The Emscher, which is currently straightened, will regain its curves and be able to meander through its new floodplain. After the construction of a parallel sewer, the Emscher will be completely free of waste water from 2022. The river was previously an open, above-ground combined sewer with rainwater and sewage. In the back, the Uniper hard coal-fired power plant Datteln 4.
