Schelda

Description

Da Merelbeke ad Avelgem corre il fiume Schelda in una valle pianeggiante che varia in larghezza da circa 500 a 1500 m; il livello scende da 12 m ad Avelgem a 6 m a Merelbeke. Solo piccole differenze di livello vengono osservate in questa pianura. Esse trovano la loro origine nella presenza di argini fluviali, nell'esistenza di antiche fosse riempite, nella presenza di costoni arenosi pleistocenici o tardo-glaciali (detti donken) e infine nello scavo dell'argilla alluvionale per la produzione di mattoni. Già nel XVIII secolo alcuni meandri erano stati deviati, ma la maggior parte delle deviazioni risale tuttavia intorno al cambio di secolo quando si passò alla rettificazione del fiume Schelda. A partire dal 1960 iniziò un'ulteriore rettificazione con calibrazione per un tonnellaggio di 1350 tonnellate e di 2000 tonnellate a valle della diga di Asper.
