Water Temperature in Maalbeek River: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Original name of the river: Maelbeek

The Maalbeek is a small river that flows through the Brussels-Capital region of Belgium, running through the city of Brussels. It is a tributary of the Zenne River, and its water course spans a modest 7 kilometers. The water temperature in the Maalbeek varies seasonally, with warmer temperatures reaching 15°C to 18°C (59°F to 64°F) during the summer months and cooler temperatures ranging between 5°C and 8°C (41°F to 46°F) in the winter. Given its relatively small size and location through an urbanized area, the Maalbeek is prone to fluctuations in water temperature due to factors such as rainfall and urban runoff.

Swimming in the Maalbeek is strongly discouraged. The river passes through the heart of Brussels and is affected by urban pollution, including sewage and runoff from roads, which can significantly degrade its water quality. While efforts have been made in recent years to improve the river's ecological health, it remains unsuitable for recreational activities such as swimming. The water can be contaminated by various pollutants, making it unsafe for human contact. Local authorities typically recommend avoiding direct contact with the river water.
