Grassland Flooding Standards for the Province of Groningen

Grassland standards for flooding (Allowance Regulation) demarcates areas for a water nuisance standard as per the Environmental Ordinance of the Province of Groningen. The dataset, provided by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties, defines where 5% of grassland may be submerged more frequently than the 1:10-year environmental value standard for built areas. The standard requires Water Boards to take necessary measures.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood allowance zones for land-use planning based on the demarcation of grassland.
• Modeling regional water system capacity based on the described 1:10-year environmental value standard.
• Assessing regulatory compliance for water boards based on the required measures mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Defines a specific environmental standard (1:10-year flood frequency) for built areas.
• Specifies a concrete allowance (5% surface area) for more frequent submersion in grassland.
• Originates from an authoritative government source (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties).
