Roads as water suppliers

Rainwater on our roads is usually discharged immediately (sometimes with delay) into surface or groundwater. With the project Rural Roadwater Rescue, the VMM and its partners are exploring how roads can be transformed into climate-adaptive water hubs.

Ecological transformation of the Vrouwvliet

In 2024, the Vrouwvliet river in Mechelen and Sint-Katelijne-Waver underwent an ecological transformation. Over a stretch of approximately 3 km, from Maanstraat to Tivolipark, the VMM removed concrete bank reinforcements wherever possible. The result: a more natural watercourse with improved purification capacity and greater potential for aquatic life in the future.
