We want to make the area around the Scheldt meander between Ghent and Wetteren safer and more natural. This is vital, as the combination of storm tide and the silting of the river mean this area is prone to flooding. Without interventions, this part of the Scheldt would become land, increasing the risk of flooding even more which would cause valuable nature to disappear. The Scheldt Meander Ghent Wetteren Sigma Project must eliminate this threat altogether in the long term.
