06.01.2022, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dinslaken - New Emschermuendung into the Rhine. Construction site of the new Emscher estuary in front of the decommissioned STEAG coal-fired power plant in Voerde. The discharge of the Emscher into the Rhine will be relocated from Dinslaken to Voerde, almost 500 meters to the north. Fish will then be able to swim barrier-free up the new Emscher from the Rhine through a newly created floodplain. The Emscher has been completely free of wastewater since January 2022 following the construction of a parallel sewer. The river was previously an open, above-ground combined sewer with stormwater and wastewater. 00X220106D020CAROEX.JPG [MODEL RELEASE: NO, PROPERTY RELEASE: NO (c) caro images / Oberhaeuser, http://www.caro-images.com, info@caro-images.com - In case of using the picture for any purpose, please contact the agency - the picture is subject to royalty!]
