PPRI 2013: Flood Risk Zoning for the Dordogne Basin and Tributaries in Corrèze, France

Lines and values of the isocotes for the 2013 Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRI) covering the Dordogne basin and its tributaries in the Corrèze department. The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in January 2022. It defines hazard zones across 15 municipalities based on historical and modeled flood events.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood hazard zones based on the defined isocote lines and values.
• Assessing land-use restrictions for construction based on the red, dark blue, and blue zone classifications.
• Modeling historical flood impacts using the reference events from 1960 and centennial flood calculations.
• Analyzing regional flood risk across the 15 specified municipalities.

Strengths

• Covers 15 municipalities, providing a regional scope.
• Based on specific historical (1960) and modeled (centennial) flood events.
• Defines clear regulatory zones (red, dark blue, blue) for construction.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2022-01-14 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
