51°26′23″N 6°45′13″E / 51.43972°N 6.75361°E The Duisburg Canals are part of the master plan developed by Foster and Partners for the reconstruction of the Duisburg Inner Harbour. They are part of the Duisburg: Town and Harbour section of the Ruhr Industrial Heritage Trail.
An eastern port area was created separated from the rest of the port by the forming an artificial lake 26 m above sea level. The water level is maintained by ensuring that rainwater is channeled into the basin. Excess water is drained to the north side onto a bed of gravel.[1] In case of drought a solar-powered fountain with an annual capacity of 90,000 m³ has been installed by the Hanse canal. Pre-treatment of the water supply is provided by small biotopes at the southern end of the canal.
The area includes housing, some of which is low price.[2]
