by Jarig Bakker, 17 May 2004
Official name: Het Polderdistrict Groot Maas en Waal; seat: Arnhem,
Gelderland province.
Flag adopted: 2 Feb 1987; design: Kl. Sierksma
Description: Five stripes of black and white, proportioned 7:3:4:3:7;
over all at the separation of hoist and fly a "Gelderse Roos" (Gelre Rose)
in green contours of 17/24 flagheight; on top and bottom covered by a border
of 1/8 flagheight quartered blue and yellow, and by the central stripe
broken at hoist and fly.
The colors of the flag are derived from the arms of this polderboard.
In the flag black is for the polder-country, white for the rivers Maas
and Waal; the border of yellow and blue represents the emblem of the Union
of Polderboards (Circul van Ooij en Millingen, Rijk van Nijmegen, Maas
en Waal and Bommelerwaard). Over all the Gelderse Roos as symbol for the
geographical position of the Polderdistrict Groot Maas en Waal.

Other info:
Flag: blue, with in the center a white pump-screw.
The waterschap is the board of the river Linge, flowing between the
Rhine and Waal rivers in the beautiful Betuwe region. The flag shows a
pump-screw as a symbol of drainage, taken from the arms. This flag is now
out of use, beacuse the waterschap doesn't like the design and so it never
became popular. In my opinion it desires rehabilitation.

by Jarig Bakker, 17 May 2004
Official name: Waterschap Noord-Veluwe; seat Hattem
Flag adopted: 23 May 1989; design: Hans van Heijningen.
Description: Three wavy stripes blue - white - blue, proportioned 2:1:2;
the first blue stripe charched with a white five-leaved medlar flower of
3/10 flagheight and placed at 1/4 flaglength; the third stripe charged
with a white peacock in profile of 3/10 flagheight, with its body at 1/4
flaglength.
The colors and pieces are derived from the polderboard-arms.
Description of the arms: in azure a wavy fess, with in chief two medlar
flowers of silver buttoned gold, in base a peacock gardant of silver.
The shield surmounted by a golden crown of three leaves and two pearls.
The peacock looks better in profile than gardant. The medlar flower
has been made completely white on the flag.
