	River Maas / Meuse, Netherlands
		The Maas (in French Meuse) rises on the Langres plateau in France at a height of 456m/1,496ft above sea level and flows through French territory for 450km/280mi and through Belgium for 192km/119mi before reaching the Netherlands.
		Plans were developed from an early stage for improving the navigability of the Maas throughout the year.
		Various bends were straightened and considerable stretches of the river were canalized.

	Nieuwe Maas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It continues until its confluence with the Oude Maas near the city of Vlaardingen.
		Here, the Nieuwe Maas originally forked into two branches, with river Het Scheur flowing westward and the Nieuwe Maas continuing southwest to the town of Den Briel, where the Scheur and Nieuwe Maas branches flowed together again to form the Brielse Maas estuary.
		The last stretch of Nieuwe Maas was dammed off, however, at the Botlek strait, and all of its water is now discharged through Het Scheur.

	The Capture of the Maas River Bridge
		As we closed on the northern end of the Maas River bridge, it was now a couple of hundred yards to our left front, we began to get incoming small arms fire from just beyond the bridge structure near the river.
		Across the river through the bridge girders we watched as at least one truck load of German soldiers and another vehicle came out of Grave and head for the [southern approach to the] bridge.
		And after the Waal river crossing the shellacking we had taken, even though we took the objective a whole bunch of us were a little depressed but and what this means is that the other two battalions had to do all the work and we did, but morale was never a bad thing.

		After much debate and various plans, the cleaner Mills River was chosen as the most feasible alternative, in the mid-1990s, and the Authority partnered with Henderson County (where the new plant is located) to start the planning process.
		And, because the new plant sits near the confluence of the Mills and the French Broad River, he notes, the French Broad is a logical source for the next millennium.
		And Maas, for his part, is focusing on improving water quality in the Mills: Last year, a student of his documented that parts of the river are devoid of insect life, probably due to pesticide spills or runoff.

	Dredging News Online - Maas project will recycle 1.2 million m3 of riverbed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Dredging International (DI), the Belgium-based marine engineering specialists, has revealed more details of the major river dredging and protection project it is carrying out on the Zandmaas, the stretch of the River Maas near Roermond in the southeast of The Netherlands.
		This significant increase in width, along the river's right (eastern) bank, will help it cope with high seasonal flows and rainfall, which have been causing flooding and sedimentation of the bed for a number of years.
		Widening will greatly increase the river's capacity to cope with high water levels, easing flow and thus reducing the risk of flood and sedimentation.

	A Histopathological Analysis of Wild and Transplanted Dreissena polymorpha From the Dutch Sector of the River Maas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The histopathology of zebra mussel populations (Dreissena polymorpha) which were transplanted and exposed in baskets in the Dutch sector of the River Maas (5 locations) were compared with indigenous wild mussels at the same locations and at a clean reference site in the Ijsselmeer.
		All groups were sectioned histologically and examined to quantify cytological damage and pathology of a wide range of tissues, as well as to examine parasitology and to assess their reproductive state.
		The influence of an industrial spillage of Cd in the Maas during the exposures is examined against this background of locally varying "health".

		This scheme proposes transforming the basin of the River Maas in Limburg to prevent it flooding its banks in the future.
		The result is a rugged landscape in which 'riffles', fast-flowing shallow sections of river with a great fall in water level and much erosion, alternate with pools, having a lesser fall in level and much sedimentation.
		The villages in the valley remain dry, being gradually sculpted into mounds in the river by the surrounding excavations.
