Map Viewing Service (WMS) of the dataset: Wetlands version V3 (Savoie)

In the legal sense, the Water Act of January 1992 defines wetlands as “land, whether or not exploited, usually flooded or engrown with fresh water, salted or brackish permanently or temporarily; vegetation, where it exists, is dominated by hygrophilic plants for at least part of the year”. They are also mentioned in articles 127 and 128 of Law 2005-157 on the development of rural territories (including the addition of an article L. 211-1-1 to the Environmental Code).In practice, their determination (also called “cartography” in terms of rendering) is carried out locally at the level of the basin, the region, or even the department under the supervision of the Agency, the DREAL or a departmental authority... Their suppliers and descriptions may therefore be diverse.Not included here are the so-called Ramsar areas.The Sandstone has established a dictionary “Wetland Inventory” listing the elements of a common core of their description, allowing information exchange and data sharing.从法律层面而言，1992年1月《水法》将湿地（Wetland）定义为："无论是否被开发，通常被淡水、咸水或半咸水永久或暂时性淹没或浸渍的土地；若存在植被，则在一年中至少部分时段以湿生植物（Hygrophilic plant）为优势群落"。2005年第157号《农村地区发展法》的第127条、第128条亦对湿地作出规定（其中包括在《环境法典》中新增第L.211-1-1条）。实际操作中，湿地的划定（在成果呈现层面亦被称为"制图（Cartography）"）由流域、大区乃至省一级的地方主体，在主管机构（Agency）、DREAL或省级主管部门的监督下开展。因此，湿地的数据源与描述方式可能存在多样性。本数据集未纳入所谓的拉姆萨尔（Ramsar）区域。桑德斯通（Sandstone）机构已编制《湿地名录（Wetland Inventory）》，列明了湿地描述的通用核心要素，以实现信息交流与数据共享。
