The Waal river. Between the cities of Nijmegen and Lent, the Waal river makes a sharp bend, during extreme high water levels this location acts as a bottleneck, making it difficult for water to drain away. The problem was solved by moving the dyke at Lent 350 meters land inwards. An ancillary channel is dredged in the flood plain to help drain the river during extremely high water. .© 6 aug 2016 Marco van Middelkoop/Aerophoto-Schiphol
