Auger pumping station Dülkener Nette officially in operation
Kidney dressing, Germany
The auger pumping station at Viersen was officially opened on 29 June 2016.
The new feed pumping station is equipped with five Landustrie jacks and is used to pump the excess rainwater from the buffer canal into the new buffer basin (6400 ltr/sec). This prevents, that the surface water is overloaded with polluted water. In filter basins planted with grass, the water is cleaned and returned to the Nette river in small quantities.
The Nette is a tributary of the River Niers in the Nordrhein-Westfalen sub-region.
