"In the only place in Brabant where the Dutch rainwater flows into Belgian territory, a Januskop watches this remarkable discord. As a symbol of duality, Janus cannot choose: it is not for nothing that this ancient Roman God is often depicted with two faces. This is also the case in Reusel, where on top of the dividing line, 32 meters above sea level, he looks down on two river basins with two faces. On the one hand, a woman's face looking towards Belgium, where the water flows via the Nete to the Schelde. On the other side, the water of the De Dommel water board, where the water eventually joins in De Dommel via the Reusel and Raamsloop brooks and then ends up in the North Sea via the Maas."
