Flood inundation area tables for rivers in the Corrèze department of France, assembled from measurements by the Dordogne Flood Prediction Service (SPC). The dataset provides a consolidated view of water heights recorded at scales in towns including Tulle, Brive, and Argentat. The tables were last updated by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières on 2022-01-14.
Use Cases
- Model flood extent and risk based on recorded water heights at specific river gauges.
- Analyze historical flood patterns for the Dordogne, Corrèze, Vézère, and Loyre rivers.
- Create flood hazard maps for the Corrèze region based on assembled inundation area tables.
- Validate hydrological simulation outputs against measured water height data from the SPC.
Strengths
- Data is sourced from the authoritative Dordogne Flood Prediction Service (SPC).
- Includes systematic metadata for river name, measurement scale, water height, and study date.
- Provides a consolidated view by assembling tables from multiple measurement points.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2022-01-14; freshness should be verified for current applications.
