What the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk data says about Bottesford

Ordnance Survey places 40 postcodes in Bottesford in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset (Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea).

This dataset covers flooding from rivers and the sea only — one of five flood sources. Surface water, groundwater, sewers and reservoirs are assessed separately, so a postcode missing from it is not proof that a place cannot flood. The band describes the land around properties (allowing for defences), not any single address and not today's conditions.

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Bottesford watch River Devon, Foston Beck, River Witham.

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Devon, about 280 m from the middle of Bottesford's at-risk postcodes. It flows into the River Trent (Newark Branch) about 19 km downstream.

A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Devon nearest the middle of Bottesford's at-risk postcodes. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist.
