Water-sensitive areas

Description

These areas are characterised by the influence of water and are demarcated by the moors, floodplains, gleyes and colluvias. They characterise the natural area of influence of the water in which floods and overwashing can occur. Uses may be affected here by: rivers and streams running over the banks, at times high water drainage in otherwise dry valleys or temporarily high groundwater. In contrast to officially defined or planned floodplains, these areas cannot indicate the likelihood of flooding. Depending on the local situation, the areas can cover a frequent or an extreme flood event. In smaller waters where there are no flood areas or flood hazard areas, the representation of the water-sensitive areas can provide indications of possible floods and high groundwater levels and thus to estimate the risk of flooding. The water-sensitive areas will be based on the overview floor map in scale 1: 25000 worked out. These cards do not contain land limits. The concern of individual plots cannot therefore be read. The water-sensitive areas are displayed in a scale range of approx. 1: 9000 to 1: 750 000.
