Hydrometric stations used by flood forecasting services (SPC) Meuse-Moselle and Rhin-Sarre on the Rhine-Meuse basin

The points correspond to hydrometric stations (water height measurement) and/or meteorological (rain and air temperature measurement) used by the Meuse-Moselle and Rhin-Sarre flood forecasting services (SPCs). Hydrometric stations have a code in the field “COD_HYDRO3” and the meteorological stations have a code in the field “METEO_SPC”. A station can be mixed: hydrometric and meteorological. Some of the hydrometric stations are used to observe runoff and flood flows (Observation field = yes). Some are also used for raw vigilance, i.e. the water level expected or reached at this station may result in a yellow, orange or red alert on the corresponding section (Vigilance field = yes). Some of them are used by flood forecasting services to disseminate expected water level forecasts via the Vigicrues.gouv.fr site (Prevision field = yes). The reference document for flood forecasting across the Rhine-Meuse basin is the Rhine-Meuse Basin Flood Forecasting Scheme (SDPC). https://www.vigicrues.gouv.fr/ftp/SDPC/SDPC_Rhin-Meuse_2012.pdf The document detailing the forecasting of floods on the Meuse-Moselle basin is the Regulations for Monitoring, Predicting and transmitting SPC Meuse-Moselle Cruel Information (Meuse-Moselle RIC) https://www.vigicrues.gouv.fr/ftp/RIC/RIC_SPC_MM_2020.pdf The document detailing the forecasting of floods in the Rhine-Sarre basin is the Regulation for the Surveillance, Prediction and Transmission of Information on Crues of the Rhine-Sarre SPC (RIC Rhin-Sarre) https://www.vigicrues.gouv.fr/ftp/RIC/RIC_SPC_RS_2015.pdf (updated in 2021) Name of the dataset: “STATIONS_HYDRO_P_BRM.shp”
