Gaesbecq, inauguration of the fourth Temporary Flood Area in Wallonia

Saturday 1 April 2023 we had the inauguration of the Temporary Flood Area Gaesbecq in Ittre. It is installed on the Ry Ternel and can store over 50,000 m³ of water during heavy rains and storms, reducing the risk of flooding in the centre of Ittre. Works began in March 2022 and lasted just under a year

A number of walks to celebrate the Walloon Water Days and the “Rivières Fières” campaign enabled the residents of Ittre to discover this structure and the role it plays in flood control.
