Neugrabenflöße
The Neugrabenflöße (also called the ''Floßgraben''), was a roughly 18 km long '' Kunstgraben'' dating to the 17th century. It enabled the rafting of timber for the mining and smelting industries in the Ore Mountains of eastern Germany. It ran from the River Flöha near Fleyh ( Fláje) to the Freiberger Mulde near Clausnitz in the Ore Mountains. Course Starting at Fleyh this artificial water channel ran for about 3.5 km in a northwesterly direction to the eastern end of Bohemian Georgenthal (today Český Jiřetín). Here it changed direction by almost 180° and ran for about 3 km eastwards into the Rauschenbach valley. After crossing the Rauschenbach stream and the Bohemian-German border it continued towards the west. North of Cämmerswalde it crossed the watershed between Flöha and the Freiberger Mulde rivers. From there on the ditch ran in a northerly direction through Clausnitz and discharged finally after about 18 km at the southeastern end of Clausn ...

It has a volumetric flow of which is greater than that of the other headstream, the Zwickauer Mulde (or ''Westliche Mulde'' or Western Mulde) who flow is about ,The average discharge of the Zwickauer Mulde at its mouth is recorded by the values of the ''Wechselburg 1'' gauge (Zwickauer Mulde) and indirectly by the ''Golzern 1'' (Mulde) and ''Erlln'' (Freiberger Mulde). For the intermediate catchment below Wechselburg, the drainage flow for the area is recorded from the gauge data and multiplied by the catchment area of the Zwickauer Mulde below the ''Wechselburg 1'' gauge. which is nevertheless the longer stream. The source of the river is in the Ore Mountains, near Moldava, in the Czech Republic. It runs northwest, crossing the border with Germany after a few kilo ...

Mining
Mining is the Resource extraction, extraction of valuable geological materials and minerals from the surface of the Earth. Mining is required to obtain most materials that cannot be grown through agriculture, agricultural processes, or feasibly created Chemical synthesis, artificially in a laboratory or factory. Ores recovered by mining include Metal#Extraction, metals, coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, chalk mining, chalk, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay. The ore must be a rock or mineral that contains valuable constituent, can be extracted or mined and sold for profit. Mining in a wider sense includes extraction of any non-renewable resource such as petroleum, natural gas, or even fossil water, water. Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials, and final mine reclamation, reclamation or restoration of the land after the mine is closed.
