German river that joins the Rhine at Duisberg (4)

I believe the answer is:

ruhr

(Other definitions for ruhr that I've seen before include "German industrial zone, river" , "Ger. industrial region" , "German river flowing into the Rhine" , "Major industrial region of north-west Germany" , "German industrial area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
