    In the early 1950s, a tunnel of approximately 2.5 km from the Soor to the Gileppest Reservoir was built, this time to protect Eupen from flooding and to meet the increased need for drinking and industrial water in the Verviers area. During the construction of the tunnel, a violent thunderstorm suddenly occurred, causing the water level to rise sharply. Eight workers were killed when the tunnel suddenly filled up. Source Wiki

      It is at this place that the tunnel in a straight line of the Soor discharges a flood of water.
