Modau
The Modau is a 44 km long right tributary of the river Rhine running through the German state of Hesse. Historically, there have been many watermills on the river and its tributaries, giving rise to the name Mühltal ("Mill Valley"), a district through which the river flows. It passes through Ober-Ramstadt and Pfungstadt, and flows into a branch of the Rhine in Stockstadt am Rhein.

Erosion
Due to erosion of the river, it was needed to place various stones into the bedload of the river.
gollark: What? That's ridiculous.
gollark: I'm kind of conflicted on the Nvidia thing, because on the one hand I really don't like hardware being artificially limited and on the other I also don't like mining and want cheap GPUs.
gollark: Can't wait for rapid ~~superconducting~~ flux quantum CPUs operating at several tens of GHz under liquid nitrogen cooling.
gollark: Arguably low headroom is good, as it means that regular people get as much out of the CPU as possible out of the box.
gollark: I would mine things, but the fans would be loud and I don't want to contribute to a deranged zero sum (negative sum really) mess.
