Basin Rhine, coastline, rare flood hazard L-P1

Cartography represents the delimitation of areas potentially unfathomable during extreme weather and sea events characterised by probability (return time greater than 100 years) as provided for in Article 6 of Directive 2007/60/EC concerning the coastal area of the UoM Unit of Management (ITI021), over which the Rhine Basin Authority is responsible. The preparation does not take into account the presence of temporary defence measures, such as winter banks and movable bulkheads, since these are not real structural works, but tools used by municipalities and private individuals for risk management. They are put in place in the winter period, to reduce the damage caused by the storms.
