Tips
The Roer en Overmaas Water Board has widened the Jeker from the Nekum mill to the Prins Bisschopssingel in Maastricht to prevent flooding. The construction of a fish ladder removed the fish migration bottleneck at the mill (until 1930, glaze was ground here to make pottery waterproof). Fish can now easily pass the mill to lay their eggs upstream, among other things. In the Aquadra project, the water board is working across borders with ten water managers in South Limburg and Belgium to further improve water quality and prevent flooding in the catchment areas of the Jeker, Voer, Berwijn and Geul.
