- ↑ Water code number , in Germany the official river code number with a separator inserted after the prefix for better readability, which stands uniformly for the Lauter receiving water shared by all .
environment
In the upper reaches, the Lauter is one of the fine-material, silicate low mountain streams (type 5.1). From the mouth of the Frauenwiesbach, the Lauter is one of the fine to coarse material rich, silicate low mountain range rivers (type 9). The structure of the water is largely or completely changed. Below Oberweiler-Tiefenbach , the structural quality is given as clearly to strongly changed. The water quality on the sections Kaiserslautern to Katzweiler and Olsbrücken to Wolfstein is given as critically polluted, otherwise given as moderately polluted (as of 2005).
A renatured section is located next to the sewage treatment plant area, i.e. between Kaiserslautern and Otterbach.
