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

Ordnance Survey places 37 postcodes in Mickletown 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.

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 Aire nearest the middle of Mickletown'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.
