Gender (creek)




Twentieth-century Channelisation and the emergence of post- War large-scale residential areas in the Gender Basin have seen the last stretch before the city centre cut off with the stream's water flowing into the specilally-built Afwateringskanaal ("Water Regulation Canal"), which connects the Dommel with the Beatrixkanaal and controls the water level of the Dommel.

In 2005 , plans were put forth to have the Gender flow through the Eindhoven city centre once again. The stream is to flow partially underground, partially above-ground and to discharge into the Dommel near the Railway Station .

The Gender is one of many small Stream s that drain what once was the marshy Heath and moorland of eastern Noord-Brabant and the Kempen Plateau . Similar streams include the Dommel , Kleine Dommel , Keersop , Tongelreep , Aa , Binnen-Dieze and De Run . All of these streams at one point or other flow together to finally form River Dieze in Den Bosch , which in turn flows into River Maas .
