Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences

PLEASE NOTE: This dataset has been temporarily discontinued and is due to be superseded by new information. This is due to an update of some of our national flood risk products, and further work being required to develop a replacement to the Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences dataset. Further details are available on the announcements page: https://environment.data.gov.uk/support/announcements/569147407/

Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences is a spatial dataset that indicates where areas have reduced flood risk from rivers and sea due to the presence of flood defences.

The dataset has been created to help initiate conversations about the impact our flood defences have on the risk of flooding from the rivers and sea, and as a prompt to find out more about the flood defences in a particular area of interest. It does not replace any local, more detailed information. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2023. All rights reserved.
