Rheines Wasser

A professor conquers Germany's mightiest river. Andreas Fath swims the 1,231 kilometers from the source of the Rhine to its mouth. The chemist's mission, along with his team who take water samples along the way, is to advocate for effective protection of our waters. His analyses reveal a concerning increase in microplastic particles and provide evidence of medications and drugs with unclear effects on our environment. "Rheines Wasser" is the gripping tale of a grand adventure and a plea for more careful management of the world's most precious resource, so that we can protect our waters more effectively and prevent antibiotics from ending up in our drinking water.
