At various places in Lebbeke along the Vondelbeek and the Steenbeek, holding basins were built by the Flemish Environment Agency to protect our municipality and neighboring municipalities against flooding. These holding basins primarily serve as buffer basins, but they were designed in such a way that humans, fauna and flora also benefit.

The holding basin at Fochelstraat consists of two parts, east and west of Fochelstraat, and was dug along the Vondelbeek. This watercourse, which is also called the Brabantse Beek, flows from Opwijk first along the eastern holding basin and then meanders under the Fochelstraat and thus crosses the western part. These holding basins are also a beautiful piece of nature in our municipality. A willow arboretum was created in the eastern holding basin in collaboration with Natuurpunt.
