Aquitaine Flood Risk Maps for European Flood Directive Reporting

Flood risk maps produced for the Aquitaine region of France, specifically Bordeaux, to meet European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC requirements. The dataset is used to produce flood surface and risk maps representing hazards and exposed issues for high, medium, and low probability flood levels. It was last updated by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières on March 29, 2019.

Use Cases

• Develop flood risk management plans based on the homogenized flood exposure knowledge mentioned in the description.
• Assess territorial vulnerability based on the three levels of flood probability (high, medium, low) described.
• Create flood surface and hazard maps based on the dataset's stated purpose for producing quantitative evidence.
• Support reporting for the European Flood Directive based on the dataset's creation for this purpose.

Strengths

• Created for a specific legal framework (European Flood Directive 2007/60/EC), suggesting structured purpose.
• Aims to provide quantitative evidence for three distinct flood probability levels.
• Produced by a recognized geological and mining research organization (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières).

Limitations
