PPRI 2013: Flood Hazard Lines and Values for the Dordogne Basin, Corrèze, France

Lines and values of the isocotes of the reference flood for the 2013 Natural Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRI) of the Dordogne basin and its tributaries. The dataset was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and covers 15 municipalities in the Corrèze department. It was last updated on January 14, 2022.

Use Cases

• Modeling flood inundation extents based on the defined reference flood isocotes.
• Assessing land-use restrictions for construction in red, dark blue, and blue zones as defined by the PPRi regulations.
• Planning infrastructure and economic activities in flood-prone areas under the conditions specified by the plan.
• Analyzing historical and calculated flood hazards for rivers including the Dordogne, Maronne, and Souvigne.

Strengths

• Covers 15 specific municipalities, providing localized hazard data.
• Based on a defined regulatory framework (PPRI) approved on October 30, 2013.
• Hazard derived from modeling using a known historical flood (1960) and calculated centennial floods.

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 file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
