Raw sewege from Belgium in the river Waal, that must be a mistake as it doesn´t have any incoming water from there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.249.159.54 (talk) 21:11, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, a small area of Belgium (Bastogne, Martelange) does drain off into the Rhine and Waal, mostly via the Sûre and Mosel, but it's hardly relevant (Removing Belgium from that list). More important is the pollution by heavy metals, slowly being released from the sediments where they had become trapped in times when pollution was far worse. Unfortunately, I don't have proper references for that. PiusImpavidus (talk) 14:24, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
