Water Temperature in Bilzen: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Bilzen, a town in the province of Limburg in Belgium, is located along the Demer River, a tributary of the Scheldt. The Demer River runs through a mix of rural and urban landscapes, with water temperatures that typically range from 5-7°C (41-45°F) during the winter months to 15-18°C (59-64°F) in summer. The river is relatively shallow, with low to moderate flow, which means it heats up during warmer weather but still remains cool in the summer, particularly with its proximity to agricultural and urban runoff that can affect the water's quality.

Swimming in the Demer River in Bilzen is generally not advised due to concerns over water quality. The river passes through industrial and agricultural areas, which means that pollutants and contaminants can enter the water, particularly after heavy rainfall. While the river provides a picturesque natural setting and is ideal for walking, cycling, and enjoying the surrounding landscapes, its waters are not suitable for swimming. Local authorities recommend other recreational activities like kayaking or canoeing if you wish to enjoy the river safely.
