Summary

This data shows the individual flood extents for all large raised reservoirs in the event that they were to fail and release the water held on a “wet day” when local rivers had already overflowed their banks.

It represents a prediction of a credible worst case scenario, however it’s unlikely that any actual flood would be this large. The data gives no indication of likelihood or probability of reservoir flooding.

Flood extents are not included for smaller reservoirs or for reservoirs commissioned after the reservoir modelling programme began in October 2016. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2023. All rights reserved.
