context_page_description: The Waaltje is a dammed river in the western Netherlands, southeast of Rotterdam. Historically it used to be the western end of the Waal river, hence its official name continues to be Waal, although the intermediate Waal sections, Boven Merwede, Beneden Merwede, and a subsection of the Noord, have long changed their names.
context_section_description: The Waaltje is managed by the water board Hollandse Delta. Its waters are on the clear end. It is used for boating, amateur fishing, diving, swimming and ice skating.
