Flood Risk Prevention Plan for the Loire Valley in Indre-et-Loire, 2016

A 2016 geospatial dataset detailing the flood risk prevention plan for the Loire River in the Val de Tours and Val de Luynes areas of Indre-et-Loire, France. It was produced by the BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GÉOLOGIQUES ET MINIÈRES and last updated in July 2021. The data conforms to the COVADIS standard for storing regulatory maps, hazard levels, and identified issues related to foreseeable natural risks.

Use Cases

• Land-use zoning analysis based on regulatory maps delimiting areas with specific construction requirements.
• Flood hazard modeling based on mapped intensity levels of the hazard.
• Risk exposure assessment based on maps of identified issues (e.g., infrastructure, population).
• Comparative study of risk prevention plan standardization across different regions in France.

Strengths

• Based on a standardized national data specification (COVADIS) for risk prevention plans.
• Covers three defined categories of information: regulatory zoning, hazard mapping, and issue identification.
• Produced by a geological and mining research bureau (BRGM), suggesting authoritative sourcing.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2021-07-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
