List of rivers of Ostwestfalen-Lippe

Main rivers of the region

This list of rivers and streams in Ostwestfalen-Lippe contains a selection of the rivers, streams and lakes which lie wholly or partly in Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL). The rivers are organised based on the Weser, Lippe and Ems river systems. In addition they are sometimes further divided into sub-regions. The list does not contain all named rivers in OWL, but at least all those with a total catchment area of 10 square kilometres. The list of lakes is also not a full list of all named lakes, especially as the distinction with ponds is not always clear.

Remark: In the catchment area of the Hunte the streams listed are often just drainage ditches or canals, that cannot be of thecribed using the usual hierarchy of a classic river system with main rivers and tributaries, because there is no constant direction of flow. As a result it is only ansatzweise angedeutet, how the waterbody is linked to its main river.
