PPRI Upstream Corrèze 2006: Flood Risk Zones and Regulations for 13 Municipalities

Corrèze, France. This dataset contains lines and values for flood isocotes (contour lines) from the 2006 Natural Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRi) for the upstream Corrèze basin. The plan, approved on 09/10/2006, covers 13 municipalities and classifies flood-prone land into red, dark blue, and light blue zones based on constructibility regulations. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated in January 2022.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood hazard zones based on the reference flood of October 1960 mentioned in the description
• Analyzing land-use restrictions for construction in areas classified as red, dark blue, or light blue zones
• Assessing flood risk exposure for the 13 listed municipalities within the Corrèze basin
• Integrating regulatory flood isocotes with other hydrological or topographic data for the region

Strengths

• Covers 13 specific municipalities in the Corrèze department, providing localized regulatory data.
• Based on a defined reference flood event (October 1960) and an approved regulatory plan (PPRi from 2006).
• Includes a clear regulatory classification system (red, dark blue, light blue zones) for land use.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2022-01-14; freshness should be verified for current applications.
