Inspire Download Service (predefined ATOM) for Flood Zones_HQ100_to_HWG dataset

Description of the INSPIRE Download Service (predefined Atom): Legal flooding areas of above-ground waters in Hesse (name according to §45 Hessisches Wassergesetz/HWG and §76 Wasserhaushaltsgesetz/WHG) for flood events that can be expected statistically once in 100 years. In the Hesse retention cadastre (RKH, cadastre of existing and potential retention areas), all important waterways in Hesse (4.778 km of a total of 23.643 km of water distance) are recorded. Retention spaces are the areas on which the water can spread during flooding. These areas were secured by ordinance or provisionally secured by the publication of a work card. The designation of new building areas is generally prohibited there. The construction of individual construction facilities is also subject to restrictions, as well as the handling of water hazardous substances. The basis for the recording is the calculated water level position at a 100-year outflow. Due to geometric homogenisations of the property map in the meantime, when the representations of flood zones are digitally superimposed with the data of the property map, location deviations can occur between the flood zone boundaries shown and the location-identical parcel boundary lines, if applicable, at the time of determination. In any case, the analogue maps of the fixing documents, which can be consulted by the government offices, are decisive for the area concerned. — The link(s) for downloading the records is/are generated dynamically from getFeature Requests to a WFS 1.1.0
