Description
Corrèze, France. This dataset contains flood risk zoning information for 15 municipalities along the Dordogne river basin and its tributaries, established under the French PPRi (Plan for the Prevention of Natural Flood Risk) framework. The regulations, approved on 30/10/2013, classify land into red (non-constructible), dark blue, and blue zones based on hazard modeling of historical and centennial floods. The data was provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated in January 2022.
Use Cases
Assessing construction restrictions based on the red, dark blue, and blue zone classifications.
Modeling flood hazard exposure using the referenced historical (1960) and centennial flood events.
Analyzing regional flood risk policy coverage across the 15 listed municipalities.
Integrating regulatory zoning with hydrological models for the Dordogne, Maronne, and other listed rivers.
Strengths
Covers 15 municipalities with individual PPRi plans, providing localized detail.
Hazard classification is based on specific modeled flood events, including the October 1960 flood and calculated centennial floods.
Regulatory framework is explicitly defined under Article L. 562-1 of the French Environmental Code.
Limitations
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and format require manual inspection after download.
