The Yser ((オランダ語:IJzer), (フランス語:Yser)) is a river that rises in French Flanders (the north of France), enters the Belgian province of West Flanders and flows into the North Sea at the town of Nieuwpoort. The source of the Yser is in Buysscheure (''Buisscheure''), in the Nord ''département'' of northern France. It flows though Bollezeele (''Bollezele''), Esquelbecq (''Ekelsbeke''), Bambecque (''Bambeke'') and approximately of its run through France before it enters Belgium. It then flows through Diksmuide and out into the North Sea at Nieuwpoort. During the Battle of the Yser in the First World War, opening the sluices, part of the polder West of the Yser was flooded with seawater between Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide to provide an obstacle to the advancing German Army and keep westernmost Belgium safe from German occupation. The Yser river itself never overflowed its banks.〔Leper, J., Kunstmatige inundaties in Maritiem Vlaanderen 1316-1945, Michiels, Tongeren, 1957 (327 p.), p.205〕 ==Tributaries== * Peene Becque (''Penebeek'') * Sale Becque (''Vuilebeek'') * Ey Becque (''Heidebeek'') * Zwyne Becque (''Zwijnebeek'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
