Other info:
Flag: stripes blue - white - blue, in the center of white the complete arms, viz. "Azure two bars wavy argent between in chief a fess or indented at the upper side and three stars (6) argent, and in base a buckle and a partridge both argent; the shield bearing a golden crown".
This waterschap deals with dikes and watermanagement on the former island of Noord-Beveland in the province of Zeeland. The flag shows the colors of the arms; in the latter the indented fess symbolizes the 4 districts of the waterschap. The other charges are derived from the arms of the villages in the waterschap: the stars for Kortgene, the wavy bars from Kate, the buckle from Wissenkerke and the partridge from Colijnsplaat.
