Lommel is a municipality and a city in the Belgian province of Limburg.

Importantly, the silver sand is mined here for the benefit of the glass industry.

Some sand mining quarries are transformed into nature reserves and recreational areas, including Lommel Sahara.

The city of Lommel is the watershed of the basins of the Scheldt, and Meuse, and within these basins the Nete and Dommel respectively.
