Hazard Overflow of Watercourses for the Amiens TRI: Flood Risk Areas

The Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières provides a dataset for the Amiens Territorial Risk of Flooding (TRI) area. It maps river flooding extents for the Somme and its tributaries under 10-year, 100-year, and 1000-year return period scenarios. This dataset was last updated on March 2, 2020, and supports the implementation of the EU Floods Directive in the Artois-Picardy basin.

Use Cases

• Model flood risk exposure for infrastructure planning based on the defined 10, 100, and 1000-year return periods.
• Prioritize state intervention areas based on the significant flood risk zones identified for the Amiens TRI.
• Assess compliance with the EU Floods Directive for the Artois-Picardy basin using the provided hazard maps.
• Analyze hydrological hazard scenarios for the Somme river and its tributaries.

Strengths

• Focuses on a defined high-priority area (Amiens Territorial Risk of Flooding) as per EU directive.
• Provides hazard mapping for three distinct probability scenarios (10, 100, and 1000-year return periods).
• Created by a recognized geological and mining research organization (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières).

Limitations

• Last updated 2020-03-02 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.
