Description

Welcome to the start of our Veleau route near Lier. Today we want to teach you more about the challenges of reconciling people and water in a pleasant way. In the past, man has greatly adapted the network of streams and rivers to his own needs. At the time, it was thought that a dike offered sufficient protection against the water.
In 1998, unfortunately, we found that we were wrong. The severe floods in the province of Antwerp have made us realise that things have to change. The video shows you the Lierse watering of 1998 and the first interventions of the province of Antwerp to turn the tide. Today, the province of Antwerp is fully committed to a sustainable integrated water policy. The results are there, but vigilance remains necessary.
