ROR Areas with Potentially Significant Flood Risk EU2018 Areas Types A and B (Flood Risk Directive) RWS

Description

Areas with Potentially Significant Flood Risk in the Netherlands Types A and B contains a selection of the designated areas from the report Flood Risks in the Netherlands, 2018 that are classified as A, B, C and represented as planes. Preliminary flood risk assessment and designation of areas with potentially significant flood risk under the European Flood Risk Directive (FRD) 2nd cycle 2016 to 2021. The areas have been designated on the basis of the following principles. Areas are distinguished by the four separate river basin districts. Areas are subdivided into the four types (A, B, C, D) of flooding that reflect the difference in protection, as well as the diversity in responsibilities and roles of governments involved. The delimitation of the areas shall be based on the extreme limits of the potentially floodable area, as determined on the basis of simulations from the national flood database. For the primary flood defences, the area has been extended to the high ground line. The Rijkskanaaldijken are part of the designated areas. A total of 14 GPSOR are awarded in the Netherlands. Areas of Type D do not occur in the Ems and Scheldt basins. There are areas that can flood both from the main water system (B) and the regional water system (C).
