The Haine ({{Langx|fr|Haine}} {{IPA|fr|ɛn||LL-Q150 (fra)-Poslovitch-haine.wav}}; {{Langx|nl|Hene}} {{IPA|nl|ɦeːnə|}}; {{Langx|de|Henne}}; {{langx|pcd|Héne}}; {{langx|wa|Hinne}}) is a river in southern Belgium (Hainaut) and northern France (Nord), right tributary of the river Scheldt. The Haine gave its name to the County of Hainaut, and the present province of Hainaut. Its source is in Anderlues, Belgium. As the western end of the sillon industriel, Wallonia's industrial backbone, it flows through the heavily industrialized Borinage region, notably the towns La Louvière, Mons and Saint-Ghislain. A few kilometres after crossing the border into France, the Haine flows into the Scheldt in Condé-sur-l'Escaut. Its length within Belgium is {{cvt|72|km}}[http://www.spge.be/de/cartographie-de-l-assainissement.html?IDC=176 Mon bassin, ma rivière], Société publique de gestion de l'eau and the Belgian part of its drainage basin is {{cvt|802|km2}}.[http://www.spge.be/fr/haine.html?IDC=2070&IDD=1403 Haine], Société publique de gestion de l'eau
