Estuary of the USA in the Wetter bei Friedberg |
The United States , and Us and on the upper reaches Usbach called in Hesse Hochtaunuskreis and Wetteraukreis is a good 34 km long, orographic right and western tributary of the weather .
geography
course
The USA rises in the Hochtaunuskreis in the eastern Hintertaunus . Its source is between the villages of Rod am Berg in the north and Anspach in the south, about 2.5 km west-southwest of the city center of Neu-Anspach on the eastern flank of the Hardt ( 502.4 m above sea level ) at an altitude of about 458 m .
Initially, the USA crosses Neu-Anspach. The Arnsbach flows there . On the further way the Usa flows through Usingen and is reinforced by the Eschbach . Accompanied by the federal highway 275 , it breaks through a crossbar north of the Taunus main ridge and reaches Ober-Mörlen . Here the Fauerbach flows into the outskirts. The USA flows through Nieder-Mörlen in the Bad Nauheim area and passes the graduation towers there ; Here it still drives a water wheel, the movement of which was previously used for brine pumps. In the further course the Seebach flows north of Friedberg . There is a level near Friedberg (see web link).
Finally, after flowing eastwards past Friedberg and Fauerbach and crossing under the B 275, the USA flows south-southeast of Fauerbach at an altitude of about 123 m into the Nidda tributary Wetter .

Water management
The United States, with its 183.9 km² catchment area, has for the most part a water quality level II to III.
In the 1970s, the pollution of the stream used as a receiving water peaked. The wastewater treatment plants in Usingen, Bad Nauheim and Friedberg are essentially contributing to solving this problem . The outflow from the pond sewage treatment plant in the Butzbach districts of Münster and Fauerbach is fed to the USA via the Fauerbach. The actually clean Taunus water is impaired by the discharge of the sewage water. The Usingen sewage treatment plant is located between the Usingen and Ober-Mörlen districts and purifies the wastewater from the Usingen districts of Usingen, Kransberg and Wernborn as well as the Friedrichsthal district of Wehrheim. The wastewater treatment plant of the cities of Bad Nauheim and Butzbach and the municipality of Ober-Mörlen for the places (in the direction of flow): Wiesental (city of Butzbach), Langenhain-Ziegenberg, Ober-Mörlen, Nieder-Mörlen and Bad Nauheim is located between Bad Nauheim and Friedberg . Immediately behind the town of Friedberg and before the confluence in the Wetter, the purified Friedberg wastewater is discharged via the Friedberg sewage treatment plant.
However, the sewage discharges from the treatment plants are not the only problem. Especially in the Taunus, where a large amount of rainwater can accumulate in the sewer system within a very short time, rain overflows quickly give off contaminated water from surface runoff into the USA.
fauna
In the USA there are:
- Salmonids: grayling , brown trout , sea trout , rainbow trout
- Carp-like: bream , chub , minnow , gudgeon , hazel , nose , roach , rudd , loach , mirror carp , common carp
- Other fish species: eel , perch , bullhead , pike and catfish
- and also river mussel , noble and signal crab

In the 1980s, the remains that were no longer in use were destroyed by heavy construction equipment, and their half-timbered beams were secured by the Wetteraukreis and stored for an intended reconstruction. At the beginning of the 21st century, the legal dispute was settled and the site was otherwise developed.
