The main function of the Gileppe Dam in the 21st century is to provide drinking water. As these needs are met, surplus water is turbinated. [23] In 1997, the Gileppe Dam produced 3,255,525 cubic metres of drinking water. [24] Although capacity is small, the Vesdre basin is one of the few places in Belgium to produce hydropower. [23]
Two temporary metal pedestrian bridges of metal replaced the destroyed bridge. [ 2 ] Construction of replacement bridges began in 1947; a 59.4-metre-long (195 ft) bridge across the Albert Canal ( le pont de l'Esparanto ), and a three-span concrete bridge across the Meuse of total length 190 m; the new construction was officially opened in 1948.

To allow four-stacked container traffic, bridges over the canal are currently being heightened to allow for a 9.1 metres (30 ft) overhead. Between Antwerp and Liège, there is a difference in elevation of 56 metres (184 ft), and six sets of canal locks were needed to overcome this difference.
After this, Brussels showed no signs of slowing down on its journey to becoming one of the most influential cities in all of Europe. [3] By 1930, Brussels population was up to over 200,000, compared to an estimated 65,000 in 1700. [2] During the early 1980s, the 25 neighbourhoods around the canal were home to one fifth of Brussels' population.
Following the regionalisation of Belgium, the management of the canal is no longer in the hands of the "SA Maritime" (a company established in 1896) but came under the control of the Port of Brussels for the part in the territory of the Brussels-Capital Region and Waterwegen en Zeekanaal NV for the part in the Flemish Region.
