INSPIRE Annex III: Hydromorphological Water Management Measures 2015-2021

Hydromorphological measures assigned to individual water bodies under the EU's second river basin management plan. The dataset links specific improvement actions, such as ecological continuity and flow regulation, to water bodies to address pressures and improve status. It is provided by the Administration du Cadastre et de la Topographie and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing the spatial distribution of planned hydromorphological interventions based on the assignment to water bodies.
• Modeling the potential impact of renaturation and flow regulation measures on flood reduction.
• Tracking the implementation of the detailed programme of measures for the 2015-2021 period.

Strengths

• Data is structured according to the INSPIRE Annex III theme for Area Management/Restriction/Regulation Zones.
• Explicitly covers a defined programme period from 2015 to 2021.
• Published under a permissive CC0-1.0 license for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-05-10).
