Isocote lines representing floodwater altitudes for a specific scenario in Vendôme, Loir-et-Cher, France. This spatial dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières for mapping high flood risk land under the European Floods Directive. It supports the creation of flood surface and risk maps to assess territory vulnerability across high, medium, and low probability flooding levels.
Use Cases
- Generate flood surface maps based on the isocote lines representing water level altitudes.
- Assess territorial vulnerability for different flood probabilities (high, medium, low) using the quantitative evidence provided by the dataset.
- Develop flood risk management plans (WRMs) as required by European Directive 2007/60/EC, leveraging the homogenized knowledge of flood exposure.
- Model flood hazard scenarios for the TRI Loir area using the mapped isocote lines.
Strengths
- Spatial data is produced for a specific, legislatively mandated purpose under European Directive 2007/60/EC.
- Dataset is designed to provide quantitative evidence for assessing vulnerability across three distinct flood probability levels.
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-03-28 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
