Everything about Senne totally explained
Zenne (
Dutch) or
Senne (
French) is a small river that flows through
Brussels, left tributary of the
Dijle. Its source is in the municipality of
Soignies. It is an indirect tributary of the
Scheldt, through the
Dijle and the
Rupel. The
Woluwe is one of the tributaries of the Zenne.
In total the Zenne is 103
km long.
In the centre of Brussels, the Zenne was
completely covered up and major boulevards were built over top in the
19th and early
20th centuries. It is still visible in the outskirts of Brussels and outside the city, though within the city it now runs mostly underneath the
small ring. The Zenne was notorious for being one of Belgium's worst
polluted rivers, since all
effluents from the
Brussels Capital Region were versed in it without treatment. This problem was solved in
March 2007 with the completion of new
sewage treatment plants.
The Golden
Iris became used as the emblem of the
Brussels Capital Region due to its habitat in the marshy plains around the river. The unique seasonal wild
yeasts of the Zenne river valley are used in the production of the regional
lambic style of
beer.
