Hochwasser mittlerer Wahrscheinlichkeit (Hessen)
What this layer shows
The hazard map under the EU Floods Directive for the medium-probability scenario: usually the 1-in-100-year event. Unlike a designated flood plain the hazard map is not an ordinance: it shows where water would stand, and it is the technical basis from which a designation later follows.

Wasser und Hochwasser
The water-law side of a site: drinking water and medicinal spring protection areas with their zones, designated flood plains and flood hazard maps, Saxony's flood-generation areas, and the bathing waters. A flood plain designated under § 78 WHG is the hardest restriction a scheme can meet.
