Shire River Basin Shapefile

Flood hazard rating on the Shire River area, based on the application of a 2-dimensional model [http://www.atkinsglobal.com/environment]. The flood return period for this dataset is 5 years. The final rating is stored in the HAZARD2D field: values lower than 0.75 correspond to very low hazard caution; values in the range 0.75 to 1.25 correspond to danger for some includes children, the elderly and infirm; values in the range 1.25 to 2.0 correspond to danger for most includes the general public; values higher than 2.0 correspond to danger for all includes the emergency services. See document "Integrated Flood Risk Management Plan for the Shire Basin project Interim Report" on the documents section of this platform.
