The Eau d'Heure dam is located in a 1800 ha site dedicated to sports and leisure activities, in the provinces of Hainaut and Namur. This impressive structure is the only one that can be visited from the inside. Built in the 1970s to regulate the flow and level of the Sambre, it now provides electricity for 6,000 families.
