Surface Water Runoff Routes for Extreme Rainfall Events in Eindhoven

A geospatial dataset from the Eindhoven water vision map, visualizing desired surface runoff routes for extreme rainfall events. The data collection is part of a strategy to adapt the city's water system to climate change by modifying street levels and connecting existing water elements. The dataset is published by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties under a CC-PDM-1.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling urban flood risk based on surface runoff routes.
• Planning street-level modifications for stormwater drainage.
• Integrating new water storage structures with the existing water system.
• Visualizing spatial claims for climate-resilient water infrastructure.

Strengths

• Part of a broader water vision map integrating multiple water system elements.
• Links to authoritative external data services from Waterschap de Dommel and Gemeente Eindhoven.
• Explicitly designed for climate adaptation to prevent waterlogging.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial extent are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
