Eau d'Heure lakes, Artificial lake complex in Wallonia, Belgium.

The Eau d'Heure lakes consist of five interconnected reservoirs spanning 6.17 square kilometers with 150 kilometers of shoreline and depths reaching 43 meters.

During the 1970s, engineers constructed five dams and a hydroelectric power station to create Belgium's largest artificial water system for power generation.

The lakes represent a major recreational center for Belgium, where locals gather throughout the year for water sports, fishing, and outdoor activities.

Visitors can access guided tours of the Plate-Taille Dam, which includes underground passages and an observation tower reaching 107 meters in height.

The facility operates reversible pump turbines that manage 400 cubic meters per second, generating electricity for thousands of Belgian households.
