Rheines Wasser

A professor conquers Germany's mightiest river. Andreas Fath swims the 1231 kilometers from the source of the Rhine to its mouth. The chemist, who is taking water samples along the way with his team, wants to promote effective protection of our waters. His analyses reveal a worrying increase in microplastic particles and provide evidence of medicines and drugs with unresolved effects on our environment. "Rhine's Water" is the gripping tale of a great adventure - and a plea for more careful use of the world's most precious resource. So that we can protect the waters more effectively and prevent antibiotics from ending up in our drinking water.
