	River Thames and boaty things
		The original flash lock capstan used at the Hurley flash lock, prior to the first pound lock being built at this location in 1773, is the last surviving flash lock capstan in existence on the Thames and is situated next to the River in the grounds of Wittington House between Henley and Marlow.
		Pound locks were also in use in Italy in the fifteenth century using portcullis type gates but Leonardo da Vinci is credited with the invention of the pound lock using mitre gates with built-in vertical sluices as he prepared plans for such a lock (San Marco Lock) on the Naviglio Interno in Milan in 1495.
		On the River Thames we are lucky as all locks are manned, unlike the canal system where boaters have to operate the winding gear to open and close the gates and sluices.

		The Meuse is linked with the Belgian port of Antwerp by the Albert Canal and with Rotterdam and other Dutch ports by the intricate system of Dutch waterways; thus it is one of the chief thoroughfares of Europe.

	Zwarts & Jansma architecten - New bridges over the river Lek, Vianen
		The capacity of the existing steel arch bridge across the Lek river at Vianen was too limited to continue coping adequately with the traffic, and a second, new bridge was needed for the A2 motorway.
		The basic premise for the parapet was the experience of the motorist from the road.
		In order to achieve as transparent and as calm a visual effect as possible for the passing motorists, it was decided to use closely spaced thin posts instead of a few thicker posts spaced further apart.

		Its location along the river proved decisive for the development of the village.
		The 47 meter high water tower is positioned along the dike in Schuwacht. The water tower was built back in 1909. This was a collaboration between various surrounding councils for the provision of drinking water. The water tower and the pump building are now looked after by monumental care.
		The landing stage for the Lek boats was located behind the church. These were steam radar boats which looked after transport until 1948. The car ferry to Kinderdijk now departs from this same spot. The Krimpen ferry served as an important through route between the North and South of the Netherlands.
