A ring dike was constructed around the De Bunt nature reserve to protect the areas behind it from flooding when De Bunt becomes operational as a flood plain. The drainage structure and pumping station were also built. The dike was constructed from dredged sand from the Durme.

Ringdijk is a buffer against flooding, but also fun for cyclists and walkers
By 2023 Wal-Zwijn will be a fully-fledged flood plain with typical river nature.
By giving the Scheldt room to flood, the residents of Hamme keep their feet dry.
