The Dillerbach is one of the coarse material-rich, silicate low mountain streams (type 5). Its water structure quality is given for the upper and middle reaches to Dill predominantly as very strongly changed. In the lower reaches, the structure is classified somewhat better with clearly to strongly changed. The water quality in the upper reaches to Niedersohren is given as critically polluted, from Niedersohren to the mouth as moderately polluted.
