	Scheldt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Scheldt (Dutch: Schelde, French Escaut) is a 350 km[1] long river that finds its origin in the north of France, enters Belgium and near Antwerp flows west into the Netherlands towards the North Sea.
		Originally there were two branches from that point: the Oosterschelde (Eastern Scheldt) and the Westerschelde (Western Scheldt) but the river was in the 19th century cut off from its eastern (actually: northern) branch by a dike that connects Zuid-Beveland with the mainland (North Brabant).
		In the time of the French Revolution the river was reopened in 1792 and once Belgium in 1830 had claimed its independence from The Netherlands the treaty of the Scheldt determined that the river should remain accessible to ships headed for Belgian ports.

	Young Water Action Team \| Knowledge Base \| River Basin Report: Scheldt River
		The river basin, with a surface of 21680 km, is bounded by the North Sea, a couple of coastal basins north to the Seine and by the river basins of the Maas and the Ijzel.
		The Scheldt is a rain-fed river, this means that the rainfall and the water policy in the river basin mainly determine the amount of water these rivers need to carry off.
		These rivers are characterized by a fall smaller than 150 meters during the entire length of the river.

		On the bars of the Dutch sector of the river Scheldt, the sediment consists mainly of sand with average grain sizes varying between 150 and 200 micron.
		In the Belgian sector of the river Scheldt the dredged spoil consists of fine sand mixed with a varying volume of mud, depending on the season.
		In order to maintain the dynamic equilibrium of the river system, the annual volume evacuated is limited to the estimated amounts of solids conveyed by the sea and deposited in the riverbed.

	History of the Counts of Harnes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The land of Harnes in ancient times was an expanse of wetlands and odious bogs located at the headwaters of the Deule River, a tributary of the Scheldt (Schelde) River of Belgium.
		Entire towns were looted and burned; and the King of France, apparently powerless to stop the Norsemen, withdrew his troops, thereby abandoning the lowlands of the Scheldt to the raiders.
		Because this stronghold was the mightiest fortress in Flanders, as well as the primary residence of the counts of Flanders, its castellans were essentially the chief military officers of Flanders and second in power only to the Count himself.

		The river input of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus to the ocean system is obviously of great importance in a discussion of the interactions of these compounds in the estuarine and adjacent coastal zones.
		However, in the Zaïre river the anoxic zone is restricted to the bottom water near the head of the canyon where the detritus of terrestrial plants accumulates.
		The behaviour of phosphorus in the Scheldt estuary is much more complicated (Figure 14.6) because of the existence of an extended anaerobic zone, long residence times of the water masses, and intensive shoaling occurring in the upper part of the estuary.

	ITT Flygt Headquarter - A wonderful piece of lock
		Antwerp's location 60 kilometres inland from the North Sea on the River Scheldt makes it an attractive destination for shipping companies, because transporting goods by sea is the cheapest mode of transport.
		But the River Scheldt has two tides a day, and elevation differences of more than five metres in some spots requires locks.
		The River Sheldt has a sandy basin, which means massive sediment build-up on the lock gates.
