The Nieuwe Merwede ("New Merwede") is a ship canal that was constructed in 1870 to form a branch in the Rhine-Meuse delta.
River BovenMerwede ("Upper Merwede"), itself the continuation of the Rhine-Lek and Meuse rivers after their confluence at Gorinchem, branches near the town of Hardinxveld-Giessendam into River Beneden Merwede ("Nether Merwede") to the northwest and the Nieuwe Merwede to the southwest.
The Nieuwe Merwede joins River Bergse Maas near Lage Zwaluwe to form the Hollands Diep estuary, and separates the Island of Dordrecht from the Biesbosch National Park.
