Simple download service (Atom) of the dataset: Surface wetland

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 can therefore be diverse.
The Ramsar areas are not taken into account here.
The Sander has developed a dictionary “Wetland Inventorys” listing the elements of a common core of their description, allowing for information exchange and data sharing.

从法律层面而言，1992年1月《水法》将湿地（Wetlands）定义为："无论是否已开发利用，常年或间歇性被淡水、咸水或半咸水淹没或浸润的土地；若存在植被，则在一年中至少一段时间内以湿生植物（hygrophilic plants）为优势物种"。2005-157号《农村地区发展法》第127、128条亦提及湿地（其中包括在《环境法典》中新增L. 211-1-1条款）。
实际操作中，湿地的划定（成果呈现层面亦称"制图（cartography）"）由流域、大区乃至省级地方机构开展，监管主体为相关管理机构、DREAL或省级主管部门……由此，湿地数据的提供方与描述标准均存在多样性。
本次数据集未纳入拉姆萨尔湿地（Ramsar areas）。
桑德（Sander）开发了《湿地名录（Wetland Inventorys）》词典，梳理了湿地描述的通用核心要素，可支撑信息交换与数据共享。
