Mark (Dintel)
The Mark () is a river in the Dintel basin in Belgium and the Netherlands. Characteristics The Mark rises north of Turnhout, Belgium, in the municipality of Merksplas. It passes through Hoogstraten before crossing the border with the Netherlands. In the city centre of Breda it receives its main tributary Aa of Weerijs forming the former defensive moat surrounding the city. North of the center of Breda, the water leaves the city and continues in a northerly direction, passing the Haagse Beemden as the river Mark. From this point the stream has become a river and commercial shipping is possible. At the village of Terheijden, the Mark makes a sharp turn to the west. Here is the connection with the Mark Canal. Nearby Oudenbosch/Standdaarbuiten the Mark is known under the name Dintel. The Dintel flows into the Volkerak (part of the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta) at Steenbergen, Dintelsas.

Rivers Of North Brabant
A river is a natural stream of fresh water that flows on land or inside caves towards another body of water at a lower elevation, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. A river may run dry before reaching the end of its course if it runs out of water, or only flow during certain seasons. Rivers are regulated by the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Water first enters rivers through precipitation, whether from rainfall, the runoff of water down a slope, the melting of glaciers or snow, or seepage from aquifers beneath the surface of the Earth. Rivers flow in channeled watercourses and merge in confluences to form drainage basins, or catchments, areas where surface water eventually flows to a common outlet. Rivers have a great effect on the landscape around them. They may regularly overflow their banks and flood the surrounding area, spreading nutrients to the surrounding area. Sediment or alluvium carried by rivers shapes the landscape aro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
