The Mulhousian agglomeration in France produced this series of spatial data for reporting under the European Flood Directive. It maps areas where water rise is within specific ranges to contribute to flood risk management plans. The dataset was last updated on March 22, 2019, by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.
Use Cases
- Producing flood surface maps based on water rise ranges mentioned in the description.
- Creating flood risk maps that represent flood hazards at an appropriate scale.
- Assessing territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low flood probability levels.
- Informing flood prevention strategies as required by European Directive 2007/60/EC.
Strengths
- Data is produced for a formal regulatory reporting framework (European Flood Directive).
- Maps flood hazards for three defined probability levels (high, medium, low).
- Designed to homogenize and objectify knowledge of flood exposure.
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-03-22 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
