A partial dataset from the French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, last updated March 29, 2019, details the location of Classified Environmental Protection Facilities (ICPEs) with indirect aqueous discharges impacting water bodies in the former Aquitaine region. It maps facilities subject to authorization or registration regimes, linking them to receiving water bodies or treatment plants via SANDRE codes. The data is incomplete for the current New Aquitaine administrative perimeter.
Use Cases
- Map industrial pollution sources based on facility location data.
- Analyze the network of indirect aqueous discharges based on connections to treatment plants.
- Assess regulatory coverage and compliance for classified facilities in the former Aquitaine region.
- Model potential cumulative impacts on specific water bodies based on the description that one water body may be impacted by several ICPEs.
Strengths
- Data is sourced from the authoritative French geological survey (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières).
- Includes structured identifiers (SANDRE codes) for linking to water body and treatment plant databases.
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset is explicitly noted as incomplete for the New Aquitaine region, covering only the former Aquitaine perimeter.
