New detailed maps of city-wide flood risk

Extensive mapping of city-wide flood risk has been documented and published. The map shows locations and depth values for Blue Spots for different uniform rain events (from 20mm to 150mm). Calculations are based on an Airbus elevation model with 10m resolution.

The maps can be explored from the Climaccess Flood Risk Webmap PortalClick on the layers icon to select layers and the legend icon to turn on the map legend. Note that water depth information is only provided for a 80mm rain event in this webmap.

A report on the applied methodology can be found here.
