Flood Hazard Map of Trier for Water Level 12.20 Meters

Flood hazard map for the urban area of Trier, Germany, depicting pressure water areas during a flood event at a specific water level of 12.20 meters. The map is an excerpt from the local flood protection concept for Trier, developed by intersecting calculated maximum water levels with a digital terrain model. The dataset was last updated on 2023-11-28 and originates from the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie.

Use Cases

• Modeling urban flood inundation extents based on the described water level increments.
• Assessing pressure water flooding risks independent of surface runoff, as described in the concept.
• Planning flood protection infrastructure using the detailed 10 cm water level increment series.
• Integrating hazard data into urban development plans for the Trier area.

Strengths

• Provides a specific water level scenario (12.20 m) for detailed risk analysis.
• Based on a calculated intersection of water levels with a digital terrain model.
• Part of a series of maps covering water levels from 9.00m to 12.70m.
• Explicitly distinguishes pressure water areas from direct surface flooding.

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.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific local flood protection concept.
