Abstract: This article proposes a series of zonification criteria and a set of recommendations concerning land use in areas susceptible to flooding. It is the result of a review and analysis of the criteria and regulations adopted by other countries and of their applicability to the Spanish situation. The criteria and recommendations set out here, are based upon work carried out by the C. E. D. E. X., commisioned by the Hydraulic Works Administration (D. G. O. H. ) of the Spanish Department of Public Works and Transport (M. O. P. T. ). These criteria have been applied to a real situation, the floodplain of the River Cinca in Fraga, Spain.
