PPRN Flood Risk Regulatory Zoning for the Charente River, Linars to Bassac

A 2019 dataset from the French Geological Survey (BRGM) detailing the Natural Risk Prevention Plan (PPR) for the Charente river between Linars and Bassac. It likely contains regulatory zoning maps and hazard information for flood and land movement risks, established under the framework of the 1987 French law on major risk prevention. The data is provided via a direct download Web Feature Service (WFS).

Use Cases

• Mapping flood-prone areas based on the described regulatory zoning.
• Assessing land-use restrictions for development projects using the hazard and zoning information.
• Modeling flood risk scenarios by integrating the described hazard data with other geospatial layers.

Strengths

• Data is tied to a specific legal framework (French Law of 22 July 1987), providing a formal regulatory context.
• Spatial coverage is precisely defined for the Charente river from Linars to Bassac.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-11-28 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
