    Water management on the Dyle in Leuven is a story of more than 120 years of struggling with proposals to control the flooding of the Dyle in Leuven and the surrounding area. Instead of a strict hydraulic engineering solution with artificial holding basins, the age-old function of the wet valley soils along the Dyle upstream from Leuven has been restored as a natural flood zone. Infrastructure works are limited to a minimum, and are rather intended to guide the water flow.
    The Dyle was thus saved from outdated visions that regarded it as dead matter. Pioneering work has been done here for the development of modern watercourse management in Flanders. The Dyle can breathe again.
