Visualization#

The areas are displayed in a colour pattern:

  • Dangerousness 1. High frequency (25 years) and high draft (>0.8m).
  • Dangerousness 2. Medium frequency (100 years) and high draft (>0.8m)
  • Dangerousness 3. High frequency (25 years) and low draft (<0.8m)
  • Dangerousness 4. Medium frequency (100 years) and low draft (<0.8m)
  • Dangerousness 5. Low frequency (500 years) and high draft (>0.8m)
  • Dangerousness 6. Low frequency (500 years) and shallow draft (<0.8m)
  • Geomorphological dangerousness
