Regulatory Zoning of the Baracci Watershed RIP: Flood Risk Zones

Regulatory zoning data for the Baracci watershed, approved for a Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRI) on 18/11/2004. The dataset includes zones classified by construction risk, such as a yellow 'stress zone' and a red 'inconstructible' zone. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated on 2021-08-17.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood-prone areas based on the defined 'inconstructible' red zone.
• Analyzing land-use constraints for development planning based on the 'stress' yellow zone.
• Validating regulatory compliance for construction projects within the watershed.
• Modeling hydrological risk by integrating the official zoning boundaries.

Strengths

• Zoning is based on an officially approved Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRI) from 18/11/2004.
• Data is provided by the authoritative geological and mining research organization BRGM.
• Includes at least two distinct, semantically defined regulatory zones (yellow/stress, red/inconstructible).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2021-08-17; freshness should be verified for current regulatory status.
• Row count and spatial scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
