Recent overstroomde gebieden (ROG)
What this layer shows
An inventory of areas established to have actually flooded in the past, compiled event by event from aerial observations and reports. The series runs from 1988 to mid-2016; the floods of July 2021 and everything after them are not in it. The publisher intends the map to support medium-scale spatial policy, not as evidence at parcel level. An empty result therefore does not mean that water has never stood there.
