La Chartre-sur-le-Loir in Loir-et-Cher, France, is the geographic scope for this dataset of floodable surfaces. The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) for mapping flood hazards under a specific scenario of a 1.05-meter water height. It supports the implementation of the European Floods Directive (2007/60/EC) and was last updated on March 28, 2019.
Use Cases

- Develop flood risk management plans based on the quantitative evidence for flood vulnerability.
- Assess territorial vulnerability for high, medium, and low flood probability levels as described.
- Homogenize knowledge of flood exposure for reporting under the European Floods Directive.
Strengths
- Produced by a specific geological research organization (BRGM).
- Created for a defined regulatory purpose under European Directive 2007/60/EC.
