PPRI 2013 Dordogne Basin Flood Hazard Classes for 15 Communes

Approved on 30 October 2013, this dataset contains flood hazard classes for the Dordogne river basin and its tributaries in Corrèze, France. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and covers 15 municipalities. The hazard classification is based on hydrological modeling of historical and centennial flood events.

Use Cases

• Zone land for construction restrictions based on flood hazard classes (red, dark blue, blue).
• Model flood risk to people and property based on water height and flow velocity classes.
• Analyze flood prevention regulations for the Dordogne, Maronne, Souvigne, and Sagne rivers.
• Compare hazard designations across the 15 covered municipalities, including Argentat-sur-Dordogne and Astaillac.

Strengths

• Hazard classification is derived from hydrological modeling of specific flood events.
• Covers a defined geographic area of 15 municipalities in the Dordogne basin.
• Regulations are tied to a specific legal framework (Article L. 562-1 of the French Environmental Code).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2022-01-14 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count and specific data formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
