Overstromingsgevoelige gebieden, pluviaal
What this layer shows
Areas that, according to the VMM model, flood as a result of intense rainfall that does not come from a watercourse, with the same classes as the fluvial map. This map too has been used since 1 January 2023 in the watertoets and in the informatieplicht. The polygons have no name and are very small, and the class comes through as a numeric code without text, so the map shows all classes together. Because of the large number of small polygons, this layer only appears at high zoom levels.
