, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Oberhausen - Renaturation of the Emscher in the Holtener Bruch. A new floodplain is being created here for flood protection and biodiversity. On the left, OQ Chemicals' Ruhrchemie plant. The Emscher, which is currently straightened, has been given new curves and can meander through its new floodplain. The ecological reconstruction of the Emscher system consists of the construction of a central sewage system in the Ruhr area, the construction of sewage canals and the renaturation of the Emscher and its tributaries. The Emscher has been completely free of sewage since January 2022 following the construction of a parallel sewage canal. The river was previously an open, above-ground combined sewer with rainwater and wastewater.
