The Vliet, which originated in Oppuurs from the confluence of the Klaverbeek and the Molenbeek, finds its way through the greenery here. The Vliet used to be a tributary of the Rupel and was important for inland shipping until the mid-20th century. After the flood disasters of 1953 and 1976, the Vliet was dammed and the water at the Scheldt-Brussels Sea Canal is collected in a reservoir and pumped into the higher canal. As a result, the Vliet no longer flows into the Rupel, the river is no longer useful for inland vessels and there are no longer tides on the Vliet.
