Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Landmarks of historic floods in Hérault

This table contains information about remarkable points of rank in the Hérault department also known as Historical Flood Repères or PHE Repères. The PHE benchmarks are an important element in the flood risk prevention and information system, as they make it possible to provide a concrete visual and precise element of the threat of major flooding that weighs on a large number of rivers in France. Watch out! The reported historical flood levels are by no means a guarantee that the water level will not rise above. It only testifies to the reality of a prevailing and cyclical risk in the area. Frequently, floods reach local flood levels that were not known of human memories, far exceeding all historical landmarks. These valuable benchmarks are therefore primarily informative and preventive.
