Shaped by water and industrial history, the Nord offers a great diversity of water bodies. The Scarpe and Escaut plain, established as a Regional Nature Park, concentrates marshes, wet meadows and remarkable ponds. The territory also stands out for its mining subsidence ponds, at Raismes, Wallers and Amaury, a legacy of the coal-mining past reconverted into natural spaces, as well as for the marshes of Flanders. Here you will find closed waters, fed by rainfall and the water table, and flowing waters connected to watercourses, each subject to its own legal framework. These ponds serve many purposes: fishing, waterfowl hunting, leisure and the preservation of wetland biodiversity. Acquiring a pond in the Nord means mastering the regulations: depending on the surface area, a declaration or an administrative authorisation is required, and regular upkeep (draining, dyke monitoring, filtration systems) ensures the longevity of the habitat. Around Lille, Valenciennes, Douai and Dunkerque, these water bodies form precious havens of nature.
