Water Competence Structures for the Seine-Normandie Basin, 2018-2019

A 2018-2019 dataset from the Seine-Normandie basin describes the distribution of water management competences, specifically collective sanitation, among local authorities. The data was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and updated in summer 2019. It is part of a strategy for organizing local water skills (SOCLE) and includes proposals for cooperation arrangements.

Use Cases

• Mapping the distribution of collective sanitation responsibilities based on the described competence assignments.
• Analyzing the coherence of administrative boundaries for water management based on the strategy's assessment.
• Modeling potential cooperation arrangements between local authorities based on the proposals in the dataset.

Strengths

• Data is tied to a formal strategy adopted by the Coordinating Prefect on 5 March 2018.
• Includes a 2019 update for drinking water, collective sanitation, and GEMAPI competences.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2020-09-24 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
