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: There are, I'm sure, all kinds of fun steganographic techniques you could use to make safely disclosing some information or other harder, but I don't know how widely used those actually are.
gollark: If I *were* to share "classified knowledge" from a "sect" or whatever I would probably try and do it in a cleverer way than "post it online under my main account" or something.
