Van nature overstroombare gebieden (NOG)
What this layer shows
Areas that show traces of flooding according to the soil map of Belgium (drawn up between 1947 and 1973 at a scale of 1:20,000), classified by the cause of that flooding. It is a medium-scale, indicative map from the Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij and not a legal delimitation: it says nothing about the current flood probability, the watertoets or an insurance obligation. Only the classes mapped as floodable are shown; each polygon is named after its class and basin, not by a name of its own.
