Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Parts of the water system that are to be considered as rivers in Côte-d’Or as of 31/08/2017 to serve as a reference

The Government Instruction of 3 June 2015 on the mapping and identification of rivers and their maintenance, states that in order to better understand the parts of the water system that are to be considered as watercourses, the services will draw up comprehensive mappings. This mapping is a non-opposable knowledge tool that can be updated. The entire department is covered by a progressive mapping with a first determination of rivers. Unchartted or “undetermined” flows must be the subject of a request for an expert opinion prior to the DDT “Water Police Office” prior to any intervention using the online forms. Please note: inconsistencies may exist at departmental boundaries. Consistency work is being carried out. Rivers are identified according to the case-law of the Council of State of 21/10/2011: ‘constitutes a watercourse, a flow of running water into a natural bed originally fed by a source and having a sufficient flow of much of the year’. This ranking will evolve over time on the basis of the expertise requested from the DDT by the project promoters. This layer includes all the knowledge on flows in the department of Côte-d’Or. This is a working document that has not yet been finalised. This layer was built from IGN BDTopo. It was then completed by digitisation of the SCAN25, supplemented by the BD CARTHAGE as well as the BCAE rivers. The work was initialised from July 2015. This data has been updated as of 31/08/2017. It was versioned to serve as a reference.
