Bergse Maas

Water type: Canal

Continent: Europe
Climate: Temperate

The Bergse Maas is a canal that was constructed in 1904 to be a branch of the river Maas (French: Meuse) in the Dutch province of North Brabant.

The Maas splits near Heusden into the Afgedamde Maas and the Bergse Maas.

The Afgedamde Maas flows north until its confluence with the river Waal (the main distributary of the river Rhine) to form the Merwede, while the Bergse Maas continues west as the main distributary of the Maas.

The Amer is a continuation of the Bergse Maas river from the river Donge near Raamsdonksveer to the point where it joins the river Nieuwe Merwede to form the Hollands Diep estuary.
