The
Aa of Weerijs is a
river which rises in
Belgium, where it arises from the confluence of the Great Aa (in
Wuustwezel) and the Small Aa (in
Brecht). In
Breda (which means the
broad Aa ) it is the river in the canals of this city. The name Broad Aa is a reference to its confluence with the Upper Mark. The conjoined rivers continue flowing as the
Mark. The width of the Aa of Weerijs varies from 5 meters to the border with Belgium up to 15 meters in Breda. The valley is about 3 kilometers wide.
