Stadtentwässerung Lingen is planning to create a holistic

General drainage planning for the city of Lingen (Ems).

The city of Lingen (Ems) has a total area of approximately 176.18 km2 with its urban area and its districts.

The drainage of the city is carried out by means of a separation system. The city of Lingen has around 670 km of sewer network (main pipelines). Of this, around 260 km is accounted for by the storm sewer network for the

Surface drainage. The municipal drainage system also operates around 65 pumping stations and 35

Rainwater retention basins. For part of the urban area (Stroot area), a

General drainage planning has been drawn up, whereby the model (sewer network and surface) must be integrated into the overall model to be set up again. The aforementioned sub-area has about 60 km of RW sewer network and a

Area of about 4.45 km2.
