Beyond the mere concept, the “Bottrop laboratory” demon- strates how these solutions can be realised as well. THE IDEA are promoted. Potential consequences of the climate change shall be countered by greening the town space The idea for the InnovationCity Ruhr project was and the optimisation of the water balance. developed by the Initiativkreis Ruhr, an affi liation of about 70 leading companies in the Ruhr area.

    TECHNIK Pumpwerke Schrittmacher der Wasserwirtschaft Titelbild: Maschinenhalle Pumpwerk Alte Emscher Foto: Tim Foltin Pumpwerk Bottrop-Boye Foto: Klaus Baumers 2 Pumpwerke – Schrittmacher der Wasserwirtschaft Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, scheinbar mühelos fließt das Wasser durch Emscher, Lippe und ihre Nebenläufe. Doch selbstverständlich ist diese Tatsache nicht, denn in den vom Bergbau geprägten Einzugs- bereichen müssen wir den Abfluss der Gewässer täglich aufwändig und technisch an- spruchsvoll organisieren. In den Poldergebieten der Emscher- und der südlichen Lipperegion arbeiten Entwässe- rungspumpwerke flächendeckend Tag und Nacht. Auch der Abfluss des Abwasserkanals Emscher (AKE) wird in Zukunft rund um die Uhr mit Hilfe von drei Großpumpwerken unter- stützt: Sie gleichen das Tiefenniveau aus, das der AKE durch sein Gefälle zwischen Dort- mund und Dinslaken unterirdisch erreichen würde. Seit unserer Gründung zählen der Hochwasserschutz, die Regelung des Wasserabflusses und die Abwasserableitung zu unseren Kernaufgaben. Mit dem Betrieb von insgesamt 276 Pumpwerken an Emscher und Lippe tragen wir entscheidend zur Lebensqualität in der Re- gion bei. Unsere Anlagen wurden im Laufe der Jahrzehnte stetig modernisiert, erweitert und an aktuelle Anforderungen angepasst. Mit dieser Broschüre möchten wir Ihnen die große Bedeutung unserer leistungsfähigen „Wasserschrittmacher“ näher bringen. Viel Spaß bei der Lektüre wünschen Ihnen Ihre EMSCHERGENOSSENSCHAFT und Ihr LIPPEVERBAND 3 Träge Flüsschen werden Abwassersümpfe Kurvenreiche Gewässer in landwirtschaftlicher Idylle Ursprünglich flossen Emscher und Lippe in zahlreichen Schleifen durch eine von Landwirt- schaft geprägte Region. Aufgrund ihrer geringen Fließgeschwindigkeit führten die Flüsse bei starken Regenfällen regelmäßig Hochwasser und überfluteten das flache Umland. Da- bei entstand eine lebendige Auenlandschaft mit Wäldern, Röhrichten, Hochstaudenfluren, sumpfigen und grasigen Bereichen. Wenn die Niederschläge nachließen, regulierten sich die Pegel jedoch bald wieder.

With our eight reservoirs and 69 sewage treatment plants, we work to make sure that there’s enough water of high quality. With our knowledge about water we safeguard the basis of human life and the protection of nature. To ensure quality, we continuously moni- tor the condition of our rivers and lakes. We try to reach our goals in the most economical manner. Our work is about the wellbeing of people and not about striving for profit. We use innovative and modern tech- niques and develop new ideas.

Introduction _5 A river of great service. The Ruhr is the lifeline and name giver for one of the largest conurbations in Europe, the Ruhr area. Around 4.6 million people get their drinking and service water from the Ruhr and its tributaries. The dense population and the high number of commercial and industrial enter prises lead to a water consumption per unit of area in the region which is around seven times higher than the national average.

  • Waste Water Treatment
    Section 09: Wastewater management 9 A. Current situation In the Ruhr Area, special legislation provides for water management associations, which are substantially focussed on wastewater treatment. Municipalities and the industry are legally instituted members. The Emschergenossenschaft is responsible in the north of Essen, and the Ruhrverband in the south (Figure 9.1). According to the regulations under water legislation, the City of Essen is obliged to collect, transport and dispose of wastewater.
