In the last century, the Maas was renovated. This river left an erratic track through the country, near Alem and Kerkdriel the Maas was dammed, so that Alem (first a Brabant village) became part of Gelderland.

This part of the dammed Maas has a somewhat unusual name: 't gat van Sientje'

Changes in the course of the river - as here - often led to changes in the administrative affiliations of the towns and communities. Sometimes, however, the responsibilities remained the same, so that suddenly a community had territory on both banks of the Meuse or the Rhine.
