Description
BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GÉOLOGIQUES ET MINIÈRES provides data on water height and flow velocity classes for the 2013 Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRi) of the Dordogne basin and its tributaries. The dataset covers 15 municipalities in the Corrèze department, classifying land into red (non-constructible), dark blue (constructible with conditions for economic activities), and blue (constructible with conditions) zones based on modeled flood hazards. The PPRi was approved on 30/10/2013 and was last updated in the catalog on 2022-01-14.
Use Cases
Mapping flood-prone areas based on the defined water height and flow velocity classes.
Analyzing land-use restrictions for construction and economic activities in the defined red, dark blue, and blue zones.
Modeling flood hazard scenarios for the Dordogne, Maronne, Souvigne, and other specified rivers.
Cross-referencing municipal planning documents with the official PPRi regulatory classifications.
Strengths
Covers 15 specific municipalities in the Corrèze department, providing localized regulatory data.
Based on modeled flood hazards using historical (1960 flood) and calculated (centennial) reference events for different rivers.
Includes a clear regulatory classification scheme (red, dark blue, blue zones) for land use.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
