List of rivers of Belgium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These are the main rivers of Belgium.
All of Belgium is drained into the North Sea, except the municipality of Momignies (Macquenoise), which is drained by the Oise river into the English Channel. Rivers that flow into the sea are sorted alphabetically. Rivers that flow into other rivers are sorted by the proximity of their points of confluence to the sea. Some rivers (e.g. Moselle, Rhine, Seine) do not flow through Belgium themselves, but they are mentioned for having Belgian tributaries. They are given in italics. Below, the Belgian rivers are given alphabetically. See also Category:Rivers of Belgium. Most rivers have (slightly) different names in French and Dutch. Because most of them are coming from French into Dutch language area, the French name is given first. Some have also a German name.
Note for additions: Please remember to add the city where the river meets for each river.
