 Nieuwe Merwede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nieuwe Merwede ("New Merwede") is a canal that was constructed in 1870 to form a branch in the Rhine-Meuse delta.
The river Boven Merwede ("Upper Merwede"), itself the continuation of the Rhine-Waal and Meuse rivers after their confluence at Gorinchem, branches near the town of Hardinxveld-Giessendam into River Beneden Merwede ("Lower Merwede") to the northwest and the Nieuwe Merwede to the southwest.
The Nieuwe Merwede joins River Bergse Maas near Lage Zwaluwe to form the Hollands Diep estuary, and separates the Island of Dordrecht from the Biesbosch National Park.

 Nieuwe Merwede
The Boven Merwede river splits at Hardinxveld-Giessendam into the Beneden Merwede river on the right and the Nieuwe Merwede river on the left.
Like the Bergse Maas river, the Nieuwe Merwede (New Merwede) is man-made: it has been formed in 1870.
There are no bridges or tunnels crossing the Nieuwe Merwede, but there is a car ferry from Dordrecht island on the west at "Kop van 't Land" to Brabantse Oever, Werkendam (Biesbosch).

 Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie (New Dutch Inundation Line) - UNESCO World Heritage Centre
The Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie was built in the course of various building projects (18151824, 1840-1860, 1867-1870, 1871-1881) between 1815 and 1885.
It was a 3 to 5 kilometre wide inundation zone stretching approximately 70 kilometres from Muiden (situated on the Zuiderzee, currently IJsselmeer), past the city of Utrecht towards the east, down to the large river district (the Nieuwe Merwede) and the Biesbosch.
Up until 1940 it was the main defence line of the Dutch defence system aimed at defending the western part of the country against any attacks coming from the east and the south.

 Boven Merwede
The Boven Merwede is a stretch of river in the Netherlands.
The Afgedamde Maas river joins the Waal at Woudrichem to form the Boven Merwede, which at Hardinxveld-Giessendam splits into the Beneden Merwede river on the right and the Nieuwe Merwede river on the left.
There is a road bridge, from the west side of Gorinchem on the north to the west side of Sleeuwijk on the south.

 Clinton Goveas :: Wikipedia Reference
Most of the Rhine water (two thirds) flows farther west through the Waal and then via the Merwede and Nieuwe Merwede and, merging with the Meuse, through the Hollands Diep and Haringvliet estuaries into the North Sea.
The Beneden Merwede branches off near Hardinxveld-Giessendam and continues as the Noord, to join the Lek near the village of Kinderdijk to form the Nieuwe Maas, then flows past Rotterdam and continues via Het Scheur and the Nieuwe Waterweg to the North Sea.

 Waal, Netherlands
The southern arm of the Rhine, known as the Waal, flows past Nijmegen and continues broadly parallel to the Maas, a short distance to the south (connected by two canals; the Maas continues as the Bergse Maas and the Amer, and after its junction with the Nieuwe Merwede flows into the Hollands Diep).
From the old outflow of the Maas into the Waal near Gorinchem the southern arm of the Rhine is known as the Merwede.
At Dordrecht, where the Nieuwe Merwede branches off to flow into the Hollands Diep, the Merwede divides into the Noord (connection with the Lek) and the Oude Maas (Old Maas).

 Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management Society
One project was situated in a groyne section of the Nieuwe Merwede, a watercourse in the Rhine delta.
In the remediated site in the Nieuwe Merwede, chironomids, oligochaetes and nematodes reappeared within 3-7 months at normal densities, while in the Spijkerboor recolonization by chironomids and nematodes proceeded more slowly.
For the Nieuwe Merwede, after 2 years still lower contaminant levels were observed in the remediated site compared to the non-remediated site, resulting in lower bioaccumulation in oligochaetes.

 Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management Society
From a comparison of contaminant concentrations in different types of food with maximum tolerable risk levels, and the application of a bioaccumulation model it was concluded that the sediment pollution also implies high risks for plant-, benthos- or fish-eating birds (secondary poisoning of top predators).
In the Nieuwe Merwede highest MCA risk scores were found for shallow parts where highly polluted sediments are found.
Based on an ecotoxicological evaluation of the improved quality of new sediments that will be deposited after removal of the polluted sediments in the Nieuwe Merwede, it is concluded that in this upstream part of the Rhine delta remedial action will be effective.

By 2100, the display showed, the Nieuwe Merwede could be running several feet above the local dikes.
Turkstra explained that the plan of Room for the River was to buy out the farmers who were living in the polders, then lower the dikes and let the Nieuwe Merwede flood when necessary It was expected that the project would cost three hundred and ninety million dollars.
