Recklinghausen, Castrop-Rauxel, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - EMSCHERLAND construction project, a 37-hectare water and nature discovery park at the water crossroads of the Rhine-Herne Canal (right) and the renaturalised Emscher (left) on the city limits of Recklinghausen and Castrop-Rauxel. The ecological focal point at the confluence of Suderwicher Bach and Emscher will also be a future garden for the International Garden Exhibition 2027. Before the renaturalisation, the Emscher river system was an open, above-ground wastewater canal, combined sewer with surface water and wastewater. The Uniper power plant Datteln 4 in the background
