The water level of the Leie dropped more than a meter on Saturday night. The cause of the decrease is a defect in the lock at Sint-Baafs-Vijve (Wielsbeke). Due to the problem, shipping has been blocked on De Leie at the Sint-Baafs-Vijve and Harelbeke locks and on the Roeselare Leie Canal at the lock in Ooigem.
