Sensitive areas in the Adour-Garonne basin designated under European Directive 91/271/EEC and subsequent French decrees. The dataset likely contains geospatial perimeters of watersheds, lakes, or sea areas particularly sensitive to eutrophication. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on March 29, 2019.
Use Cases
- Map eutrophication-sensitive zones based on the description of watersheds, lakes, and sea areas
- Analyze regulatory compliance requirements based on references to nitrogen and phosphorus reduction
- Plan wastewater treatment infrastructure based on mentions of additional treatment needs for sensitive areas
Strengths
- Based on specific European and French legal directives, including Directive 91/271/EEC and Decree 94-469
- Geospatial data likely delineates precise perimeters for regulatory application
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
- Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
