Nieuwe Maas
The Nieuwe Maas (or "New Meuse") is a stretch of river in the Netherlands, taking water from the Rhine and the Meuse. It begins at the intersection of the Noord River
and the Lek and flows west through Rotterdam. It continues until an
intersection with the Oude Maas near the city of Vlaardingen, where it
flows into the Nieuwe Waterweg. The total distance is approximately 24km.
Although it is called "Maas", it gets much of its water from the Rhine river, of which it is an important estuary.
