Meuse

The Meuse River, with a length of 575 miles, is the second-longest river in the Netherlands and one of the greatest rivers in Europe. It begins in France and continues across the Netherlands and Belgium until emptying into the North Sea. The river is known in the Netherlands as the "Masa," whereas in France it is known as the "Mosa." In the north, it forms the Belgian-Dutch border. The river flows through Venlo in the Netherlands before turning west and running parallel to the Waal, creating part of the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta. The Afgedamde Maas and Bergse Maas are then separated around Heusden, with the former joining the Waal.

The Meuse is navigable and is an important part of the Netherlands' navigation system. It also serves as a major source of water for various Belgian departments, provinces, and municipalities, as well as for France and the Netherlands. The river is also included in the documentary "The River People" and is mentioned in the opening stanza of Germany's old national song.
