, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dortmund / Castrop-Rauxel - River renaturalisation, renaturation of the Emscher, flood retention basin HRB Mengede. A new floodplain landscape is being created at the Emscher floodplain farm, with the expansion of areas for flood protection during heavy rainfall and for biodiversity. The Emscher, which is currently straightened, will be given curves again and can meander through its new floodplain. Following the construction of a parallel sewer, the Emscher has been completely free of sewage since 2022. The river was previously an open, above-ground mixed water channel with rainwater and wastewater. In the background on the right is the Uniper coal-fired power plant Datteln 4.
