List of rivers of Ostwestfalen-Lippe

This list of rivers and streams in Ostwestfalen-Lippe contains a selection of the rivers, streams and lakes which lie wholly or partly in Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL). The rivers are organised based on the Weser, Lippe and Ems river systems. In addition they are sometimes further divided into sub-regions. The list does not contain all named rivers in OWL, but at least all those with a total catchment area of 10 square kilometres. The list of lakes is also not a full list of all named lakes, especially as the distinction with ponds is not always clear.

Main rivers of the region

System

edit

River or stream

edit

System: River name (No., L/R, district)

All tributaries are listed in downstream order in relation to their parent river. The tributaries are listed based on their ranking in the river system:

  • 1st order (river discharges into the sea)
    • 2nd order (river discharges into a river, which discharges into the sea)
      • 3rd order (river discharges into a river, which discharges into a river, which discharges into the sea)
        • 4th order: analogous to the above

Lakes

edit

System: Name (Parish, district, surface area, origin/type)

  • District: see above
  • Water surface area: in hectares
  • Origin/Type: reservoir, gravel pit, Altwassersee, natural origin, etc.

The lakes are in order of size. If the lake is the largest in its district, the district name is in bold.

Remark: In the catchment area of the Hunte the streams listed are often just drainage ditches or canals, that cannot be of thecribed using the usual hierarchy of a classic river system with main rivers and tributaries, because there is no constant direction of flow. As a result it is only ansatzweise angedeutet, how the waterbody is linked to its main river.
