Map visualisation service (WMS) of the dataset: Aquitaine: Sorting of Libourne (overflow hazard) — Wastewater treatment plant issues, Flood Directive

Table of issues related to waste water treatment plants, produced for reporting purposes for the European Floods Directive.The European Directive 2007/60/EC of 23 October 2007 on the assessment and management of flood risks (OJ L 288, 06-11-2007, p. 27) influences the flood prevention strategy in Europe. It requires the production of flood risk management plans aimed at reducing the negative consequences of flooding on human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity.The objectives and requirements for implementation are given by the Law of 12 July 2010 on the National Commitment for the Environment (LENE) and the Decree of 2 March 2011. Within this framework, the primary objective of flood area and flood risk mapping for IRRs is to contribute, by homogenising and objecting knowledge of flood exposure, to the development of Flood Risk Management Plans (RISMPs).This dataset is used to produce maps of issues on an appropriate scale.
