 The Dommel in Sint-Michielsgestel |
||
The Dommel is - including the 6.5 km long Dieze estuary - an approximately 120 km long left tributary of the Meuse in Belgium and the Netherlands .
course
The source of the Dommel is located south of the small Belgian town of Peer in the heather and moorland area of the Donderslagse Heide . The Dommel reaches the Dutch border at Valkenswaard via Overpelt and Neerpelt . In Eindhoven the Dommel flows through the city center and soon afterwards crosses under the Wilhelminakanal at Son en Breugel . In Boxtel , the Dommel is channeled past the eastern outskirts. Only a small part of the water remains in the former winding bed through the city. In the urban area of 's-Hertogenbosch , the Aa (4.6 m³ / s) and the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal flow into the Dommel, which by this point has reached an average water flow of around 14 m³ / s. From this point on the river is called Dieze . 6.5 kilometers further, the river flows into the Meuse (around 22 m³ / s).
Surname
At the time of the Romans, who ruled Belgium and the southern part of the Netherlands , the river was called Dutmala , from which the name Dommel developed.
