Areas with Potential Significant Flood Risk in the Netherlands type C contains a selection of the designated areas from the report 'Flood Risks in the Netherlands, 2018 that are classified as A, B, C and represented as planes. Preliminary flood risk assessment and designation of potentially significant flood risk areas under the European Flood Risks Directive (ROR) 2nd cycle: 2016-2021. The areas are identified on the basis of the following principles: Areas shall be distinguished according to the four separate river basin districts; Areas are divided into four types (A, B, C, D) of floods reflecting the difference in protection, as well as the diversity of responsibilities and roles of relevant authorities; The boundaries of the areas are based on the extreme limits of the potentially floodable area, as determined on the basis of simulations from the national flood database. For the primary flood defences, the area has been supplemented to the high ground line. The Rijkskanaaldijken are part of the designated areas. In total, 14 GPSOR are awarded in the Netherlands. Areas of Type D are not present in the Eems and Scheldt river basins. There are areas that can flood both from the main water system (B) and the regional water system (C).
