Future project: Rhein-Wasser flows in Garzweiler and Hambach in 2030
The plans for the redirection of Rheinwasser to the Todage Garzweiler and Hambach accept shapes, because from 2030 three underground pipes are to perform this important task. This is a significant step towards creating new lakes in the former open pit areas. The aim is to transform the huge, created holes into water -rich landscapes. Such projects show how progress and environmental protection can go hand in hand.
The preliminary examinations for the construction of this water transport line are currently underway. These studies include holes that take place on two economic routes and at the intersection of the railway line with the A57 motorway. The city has reported that these work, which will take around six weeks, have been distributed over the next few months. The construction of the actual management should then begin from next year, even if there are currently no precise construction sections.
meaning of the water redirection
A central concern of the flooding of the former opencast mines is the preservation of the wetlands, especially at the Garzweiler opencast mine. These wetlands play a crucial role in the local ecosystem and biodiversity, which suffered from the previous opencast mine activities. By leading fresh water to these areas, not only flora and fauna should be protected, but also stabilized the conditions for the groundwater in the entire Rhenish area. This is particularly important because the groundwater mirror is connected to other water sources via so -called groundwater conductors and can therefore have a direct impact on the surrounding communities.
It is worth noting that the detour of the Rhine water is a technical challenge that should not be underestimated. The three underground pipes have the task of ensuring reliable and efficient water supply to the specific target areas. Such projects illustrate the need for in -depth planning and examination before the actual implementation. By taking proactive steps to analyze the environmental influences, it shows that the construction is not only on short -term profit, but also has long -term advantages for the environment.
The project not only has an impact on the local landscape, but could also be an example of similar projects in other regions of Germany and beyond. The efforts to use natural resources, such as water, have become more important in recent years because climate change has new challenges. The redirection of Rheinwasser is not just a local project, but could also provide impulses for a broader discussion about water resource management and ecologically sustainable practices.
