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

Corrèze, France, contains the geospatial perimeters for 15 municipal flood risk prevention plans (PPRIs) in the Dordogne river basin. The dataset, managed by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, defines hazard zones based on historical and modeled flood events, including the 1960 flood for some tributaries and centennial floods for others. It was last updated on January 14, 2022.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood hazard zones based on the defined red, dark blue, and blue area classifications.
• Analyzing land-use restrictions for new constructions in areas exposed to flood risk.
• Modeling the impact of historical flood events like the October 1960 flood on current infrastructure.
• Supporting municipal planning decisions for the 15 communes covered by the PPRi regulations.

Strengths

• Covers 15 specific municipalities in the Corrèze department of France.
• Hazard mapping is based on defined reference floods, including a specific historical event from 1960.
• Regulatory zones (red, dark blue, blue) are clearly defined for construction permissions.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2022-01-14; freshness should be verified for current applications.
