(Redirected from Drentse Aa)

The 'Drentsche Aa' is a river rising in the Dutch province of Drenthe, flowing through the province of Groningen. It ends in the Eelder Schipsloot, which flows into the Noord-Willemskanaal, however originally it ended into the Selwerderdiep. The water finally ends in the Lauwersmeer and Waddenzee.
In Groningen and the northernmost part of Drenthe the water is known as 'Drentsche Aa' (sometimes 'Aa' in Groningen), but in Drenthe it has a multitude of local names, such as ''Deurzerdiep'', ''Looner Diep'', ''Taarlosche Diep'', ''Oudemolensche Diep'', ''Schipborgsche Diep'', and ''Westerdiep''.
