The river is somewhat polluted from industries and so not used for drinking water but the pollution was never so much as to prevent fish from living in it, and like many western rivers since the 1960s, has enjoyed successively cleaner waters since environmental controls were implemented. The 1960s decade refers to the years from the beginning of 1960 to the end of 1969 People enjoy sport fishing from small boats and from along the banks, although yields are normally low. Recreational fishing, also called sport fishing, is Fishing for Pleasure or Competition.

At at least one point (Göttingen) the river is partially diverted into a canal that runs more or less parallel to the river.
