  • Die Flussbereinigung Die Emscher Im Ruhrgebiet Ist Eine Kloake. Jetzt
    Emscher im Ruhrgebiet Die Flussbereinigung Die Emscher im Ruhrgebiet ist eine Kloake. Jetzt wird sie umgebaut. • VON: Dirk Asendorpf • DATUM: 03.01.2011 - 14:39 Uhr »In Westfalen gilt das gesprochene Wort«, sagt Sascha Mader und stapft in Schwimmanzug und Badeschlappen durch den Schnee einen kleinen Abhang hinunter. Dann steigt er in die eiskalte Emscher. Vor einem Jahr hatte der Bezirksbürgermeister von Dortmund-Aplerbeck darauf gewettet, dass die Bauarbeiten zur Renaturierung des Flusslaufs nicht wie geplant abgeschlossen würden. Doch jetzt ist alles schon vier Wochen früher fertig. Mader muss sein Versprechen einlösen. Neben ihm posieren Oberbürgermeister Ullrich Sierau im Wasser und Jochen Stemplewski, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Emschergenossenschaft, Deutschlands größten Abwasserentsorgers. Beide tragen Gummistiefel. Ein paar Fotografen lassen ihre Kameras klicken. Bis 2020 soll aus der größten Kloake Europas, einer 80 Kilometer langen Abwasserrinne, wieder ein Fluss werden – die »blaue Emscher«. 4,4 Milliarden Euro kostet das. Zur Einweihung der ersten 1250 Meter steht der Bezirksbürgermeister nun barfuß im Wasser. Emscher im Ruhrgebiet Klicken Sie auf das Bild, um die Karte in einer vergrößerten Ansicht anzuzeigen Gefährlich ist das nicht. In Dortmund-Aplerbeck, gut zwei Kilometer von der Quelle in Holzwickede entfernt, ist die Emscher einen guten Meter breit und keine 30 Zentimeter tief – ein klares Bächlein, das sich jetzt wieder durch den alten Dorfkern windet. An der Mündung bei Dinslaken schießen pro Sekunde 16 Kubikmeter Wasser in den Rhein. Denn unterwegs mündet die Kanalisation für 2,3 Millionen Menschen in den Fluss, dazu kommt noch einmal die gleiche Menge Abwasser aus Industriebetrieben. Um den schlimmsten Dreck aus dem Rhein herauszuhalten, passiert das gesamte Emscherwasser kurz vor der Mündung ein Klärwerk, bei der Inbetriebnahme vor 35 Jahren war es das größte Europas.

  • Pumpwerke Schrittmacher Der Wasserwirtschaft Titelbild: Maschinenhalle Pumpwerk Alte Emscher Foto: Tim Foltin
    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.
