Aller (Germany). The Aller () is a river in the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony in Germany. It is a right-hand, and hence eastern, tributary of the Weser and is also its largest tributary. Its last form the Lower Aller federal waterway (). The Aller was extensively straightened, widened and, in places, dyked during the 1960s to provide flood control of the river.

Upper Aller. The Aller rises in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in the west of the region known as the Magdeburg Börde near Seehausen and north of Oschersleben (Bode). It has several source streams that run down the northeastern side of the Hohes Holz within the municipal boundaries of Wormsdorf (part of Gehringsdorf), Ovelgünne (part of Siegersleben) and Eggenstedt.

The Eggenstedt tributary is the most southerly of the source streams. The nearest large centres of population in the source region are Helmstedt, about northwest, and Magdeburg around east. Initially, the Aller flows rather like a canalised brook in a northwestern direction through low hills and intensively farmed arable fields.

The river passes the villages of Eilsleben and Weferlingen. After about, it reaches Oebisfelde and the southern edge of the Drömling. After crossing the state border between Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony, the Aller bends sharply southwest near Grafhorst. Here, the terrain is already only about above sea level.

Near Grafhorst, the Aller meets the Breslau-Magdeburg-Bremen glacial valley and then, for the most part, follows it. From here on, the river mainly runs through grassland.

South of Weyhausen, the Aller Canal branches off the Aller. The canal was built between 1860 and 1863 and is about long. It was supposed to drain the long-standing floods that were greatly feared at that time.

The Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant uses the river and also feeds waste water, after cleaning, into its own sewage works. Today, the landscape of the Aller valley between Celle and Verden is mainly utilised as grassland. The Aller depression there comprises valley floors lying close to the watertable, so that fertile wet areas may be found here with rich habitats for flora and fauna.

The landscape is characterised by oxbows, potholes, copses and rows of bushes. The valley floors are widened by the depressions of the tributaries flowing into the Aller, so that fens and bogs can form. Around the lower reaches crops are cultivated on the clay soils. Around the upper course of the river, many pine forests are managed on the sandy soils. Rivers.

As a result, the discharge of the Aller into the Weser can be largely controlled and, although the level varies, it can be kept within boundaries.

The chemical composition of the Aller shows that the sewage discharged into it has generally been treated sufficiently well. Heavy metal pollution. The pollution of the Aller by heavy metals has resulted from centuries of mining in the Harz mountains. Harz rivers, such as the Aller tributary of the Oker, picked up heavy metals from the mines and their spoil heaps.

These were mainly cadmium, zinc and lead compounds that were concentrated into the suspended solids in the river. In this way, these chemicals were transported by the Oker into the Aller and Weser where they were deposited in the slacker-moving sections as sediments. In 1999, investigations were carried out into the heavy metal content of the suspended material in the Aller near Verden.

Some individual indicators were rated as quality level I (unpolluted to very lightly polluted), some however showed heavy levels of pollution (quality levels III-IV). Heavy pollution is predominantly caused by nitrates.

Flooding and historical flood protection. In former times, there were frequently spring floods in the Aller depression that stayed for a long time. This was mainly due to the very gentle slope of the river from its entry into the ice age glacial drainage channel of the Breslau-Magdeburg-Bremen glacial valley.

In the years 1954–1962, there was increased flooding along the Aller, which caused considerable damage to its water meadows. The flooded areas in the Aller valley varied between wide, mainly due to the uneven flow of the river.

The flooded areas in the Aller valley varied between wide, mainly due to the uneven flow of the river. In 1961, the Landtag of Lower Saxony decided to regulate the Aller by widening it. The aim was to protect settlements as well as the agricultural economy of the villages and towns along the course of the river which were generally poorly protected from flooding.

They were followed by the construction of a retention basin near Gifhorn in the 1970s. By contrast, plans for a retention basin on the bend in the Aller near Grafhorst were scrutinised between 1993 and 1996 on environmental grounds. The planned &quot;Fahle Heide&quot; basin west of Gifhorn was never built due to lack of funding.
