For this purpose in the Middle Ages a system of Waterboards was created. These waterboards control and regulate all the surface water in their area. Traditionally the Dutch water boards used arms, sometimes since medieval times. Recently the Flemish waterboards also can apply for arms which are granted by Royal Decree and registered at the Flemish Heraldic Council. As far as I know there are no waterboards in the French part of the country. | ||
