Weir and lock complex Driel, Water management infrastructure in Driel, Netherlands.
The Driel complex integrates a weir and lock system on the Nederrijn River, controlling water levels and enabling vessel navigation through separate channels.
Constructed between 1960 and 1970, the Driel complex emerged as part of the Netherlands' extensive water management network for inland shipping development.
The structure represents Dutch engineering excellence in water management, incorporating both transportation needs and environmental protection through dedicated fish passages.
The facility operates continuously to maintain water levels, regulate river discharge, and allow boats to pass through the locks while monitoring flood conditions.
Known as 'the tap of the Netherlands,' this complex distributes Rhine River water and maintains freshwater supply to the IJsselmeer reservoir.
