What the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk data says about Burton upon Trent

Ordnance Survey places 645 postcodes in Burton upon Trent in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset (Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea). Each postcode is counted once, under the worst band any of its properties reaches; together they hold 15,310 properties in the EA dataset's likelihood bands.

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.

Rivers and live river levels near Burton upon Trent

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Burton upon Trent watch River Trent, Rolleston Brook, River Dove, Egginton Brook.

The watercourse nearest Burton upon Trent

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Shobnall Brook, about 130 m from the middle of Burton upon Trent's at-risk postcodes.

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 Shobnall Brook nearest the middle of Burton upon Trent'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.
