An essential part of coal mining is to prevent water from seeping into the coal-bed. For that purpose it has to be pumped from down to 500 m back to the surface. While the majority of it is used for the cooling of nearest power-plants, a major part of it is led into the river Erft and from there into the river Rhine.
