Samenvatting (Dutch description)

De boeren achter de dijk van het apeldoorn kanaal bij Hattem hadden waterschap meerdere keren gewaarschuwd dat de zomerdijk zwak was. De dijk (ca 15 m) is bezweken en heeft in de nacht het gebied polder Hoenwaard overstroomt. De maaisoogst en grassoogst kan worden afgeschreven. de kudde koeien kon nog net gered worden. De oorzaak van de overstroming is gelegen in de overvloedige regen die viel in de periode medio juli in het stroomgebied van de Rijn en Maas.
