This map shows the flooding for a 10-year return period based on the mean sea level in 2000. The flooded area can be distinguished from the original area of water at mean sea level.

The area of flooding depends on the variation in height of the land, with the low-lying land being flooded first. Therefore the extent of the flooding is specific to this location.
