Sewer converted into a river (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weser

'a river' is the definition.
(German river)

'sewer converted' is the wordplay.
'converted' indicates an anagram.
'sewer' is an anagram of 'WESER'.

'into' is the link.

(Other definitions for weser that I've seen before include "German runner" , "Er, sew up the German river" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
