Vuren is situated at the river basin of various rivers.
The village is directly situated to the river 'de Waal'. Farther down this
river is called 'Merwede'. At this point, nearby Woudrichem, another
river 'de Maas' flows into the Merwede. At the other side of Vuren , in
the direction of Asperen, flows a little river 'de Linge'.
The rivers offers a lot of recreation in the summer.
High water
In the winter the high water can give some
problems. In 1995 the water level was so high, that all the people of Vuren,
and a big area in the neighborhood, were evacuated. The dykes couldn't
(almost) hold the pressure of all the water.
Low water
The summer of 2003 was extremely dry. The river water level became the lowest since very long time. Because of
that, the normal beaches were very broad and there came some new beaches
above the water.
