PPRI 2013 Dordogne Basin Flood Hazard Zones for 15 Municipalities

Hazard classes for flood risk zones in the Dordogne basin and its tributaries, covering 15 municipalities in Corrèze, France. The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and approved on October 30, 2013. It classifies land into red (non-constructible), dark blue (constructible with conditions for economic activities), and blue (constructible with conditions) zones based on modeled flood heights and speeds.

Use Cases

• Assess land development suitability based on flood hazard classes.
• Model flood risk for property and infrastructure planning.
• Enforce zoning regulations for construction in flood-prone areas.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of flood risk across 15 municipalities.

Strengths

• Hazard zones are derived from specific hydrological modeling for the Dordogne basin and its tributaries.
• The regulatory framework and approval date (October 30, 2013) are clearly documented.
• The dataset explicitly covers 15 named municipalities in the Corrèze department.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2022-01-07 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
