The Breiten Wardtley is a 4.28 km long river with the code number 279112322. Originally it flowed from the main Rhine dike at Elverich in a north-westerly direction; south of Büderich and Ginderich united with the Borthschen Ley . This in turn joins the Schwarzen Graben shortly afterwards and finally flows into the Old Rhine at Unterbirten in the Bislicher Insel nature reserve .
Due to subsidence , the direction of flow had partially reversed, and parts of the water had dried up. As part of a renaturation measure in 2010 and 2011, the direction of flow of the stream was finally reversed over a length of 1.4 km from Gindericher Strasse in the direction of Elverich. The previously straight course of the water was brought into a meandering shape. The brook now also diverts the rainwater from the Büderich bypass for infiltration. A pumping station on Venloer Strasse will continue to pump the water to the Rhine .
The former old river channel is dominated by the use of arable land, and in the vicinity of the water body by the use of grassland. The creek is typical landscape trees, poplar - head rows of trees lined and hedges, making it an ornithological and valuable landscape habitat is and for endangered plant and animal species of importance. Amphibians , reptiles and cave breeders should be mentioned in particular .
The width Wardtley is within the protected landscape Poll / Ginderichswardt .
