The Mess (French pronunciation: [mɛs]) is a river flowing through Luxembourg, joining the Alzette at Lameschmillen, near Bergem. It flows through the towns of Reckange-sur-Mess and Pontpierre. Like many rivers, the Mess has been impacted by nonpoint source pollution through surface runoff with dissolved pharmaceuticals and herbicides found in its waters.[1]
