Metadata

Methodology:: WSO4 subcatchments have been intersected with FHM (medium) areas. Population count have been calculated (zonal statistics) per WSO4 subcatchment as well all intersected flood hazard areas. Layers used in the process are Population density - grid, WSO4 subcatchment - shp and FHRM areas - shp. Column used for legend classification is named "percentage".
