The Rhine is studied in four sections - from the source to Basel, Basel to Bingen, Bingen to Bonn and from Bonn to the mouth at Europoort. The agriculture and industries of each section are shown, together with the use of the river for transportation. The recent building of the Grand Canal d’Alsace is also seen.
