  • Summary

  • With Dr. Stephan Treuke, Coordinator River Basin Management at Emschergenossenschaft

    The river Emscher in Western Germany has a turbulent history. Within one century, it turned from a leisurely meandering stream to Europe’s dirtiest river and, most recently, to a restored recreation area.

    In this episode of OTT CAST, we discuss the history and the challenges of the double transformation that the Emscher went through. Our guest is Dr. Stephan Treuke of the Emschergenossenschaft, the organization responsible for the river basin management.

    He sees big restoration projects not as isolated hydrological problems but as cross-discipline opportunities to develop and improve the infrastructure of a whole region.

    Tune in and learn about:

    • The history of a river confined to a concrete channel and released again
    • Challenges and potentials of river basin management for regional development
    • What industrial regions around the world can learn from the Emscher restoration
