Flow zones for inundatable areas with low or imprecisely known velocities, produced for reporting under the European Flood Directive. The dataset is used to produce flood surface and risk maps for four probability levels, including climate change scenarios. BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GÉOLOGIQUES ET MINIÈRES created this dataset, last updated on 2019-03-29.
Use Cases
- Generate flood surface maps based on flow zone delineations mentioned in the description
- Assess territory vulnerability for four flooding probability levels, including climate change, as described
- Support the development of Flood Risk Management Plans (PGRIs) by homogenizing knowledge of flood exposure
Strengths
- Produced for a specific legal reporting framework (European Directive 2007/60/EC)
- Designed to map flood hazards for four distinct probability levels
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count and spatial scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
