The weather at Bad Nauheim-Steinfurth

The Wetter is an almost 69 km long right tributary of the Nidda in Hesse .

course

The weather rises at the edge of the Vogelsberg between Laubach and Scots at the deserted village Sorgenlos flows through Lich in Gießen district and flows Niddatal - Assenheim in Wetteraukreis in the Nidda.

Dates and character

The Wetter, whose catchment area covers approx. 517 km², gives its name to both the Wetterau landscape and the Wetteraukreis district. At its tributaries include the United States .

Like most rivers in the Wetterau, it was straightened and deepened in the past in order to combat the risk of flooding, which today has proven to have the opposite effect.

Due to the large number of sewage treatment plants, the weather in summer shows a relatively constant water level compared to other bodies of water of the same size. The water quality therefore only fluctuates between levels II and III.

Entertains

The water association NIDDA, based in Friedberg (Hesse), is responsible for maintaining the weather between the Münster / Ober-Bessingen district boundary and the mouth of the river in the Nidda . The association also operates the large flood retention basin above the city of Lich .
