Abstract

The Scheldt estuary constitutes the southern branch of the “Golden Delta” formed by the rivers Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt. The Scheldt river (Fig. 1) and its tributaries drain 21580 square kilometers in the northwest France, west Belgium, and southwest Netherlands. The hydrographic basin covers one of the most heavily populated regions of Europe, where a highly diversified industrial activity has developed. Most of the discharges are uncontrolled and as a consequence large amounts of domestic and industrial wastes are carried by the river.
