Pluvial flood risk maps for Western Costa del Sol under present and future climate change conditions

Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: This dataset contains the pluvial flood depth and hazard maps developed for the ClimEmpower study area under present and future climate conditions. The modelling software used is MIKE by DHI. The maps are provided as GeoPackage files for three rainfall return periods: T10, T100 and T500. The dataset is organised into the following files: Present_depth: Present-climate flood depth maps. The Maximum_m field contains the maximum simulated flood depth in metres. hz_present: Present-climate flood hazard maps for pedestrians and vehicles. The Pedestrian_Clean field contains the hazard for pedestrians, while Vehicle_Clean contains the hazard for vehicles. hz_FIT_MT: Future-climate flood maps for the medium-term horizon, for T10, T100 and T500. The Maximum_m_ field contains flood depth, while Pedestrian_Clean and Vehicle_Clean contain pedestrian and vehicle hazard classifications, respectively. hz_FIT_LT: Future-climate flood maps for the long-term horizon, for T10, T100 and T500. The Maximum_m_ field contains flood depth, while Pedestrian_Clean and Vehicle_Clean contain pedestrian and vehicle hazard classifications, respectively. For the pedestrian and vehicle hazard maps, the classification is coded as follows: 1 = low hazard, 2 = medium hazard, and 3 = high hazard.
