Les cartes des risques d’inondation constituent le principal outil servant à orienter l’utilisation judicieuse des terres inondables. Elles précisent les zones inondables, soit où l’eau de crue est susceptible de se répandre. (...) Les cartes peuvent aussi illustrer les niveaux des crues à récurrence de 20 ans et de 100 ans (termes généralement reconnus pour représenter la probabilité statistique qu’il y a, chaque année, 5 % de chances qu’une crue à récurrence de 20 ans survienne et 1 % de chances qu’une crue à récurrence de 100 ans se produise à cet endroit). 1, record 2, French, - crue%20%C3%A0%20r%C3%A9currence%20de%2020%20ans
