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

Ordnance Survey places 22 postcodes in Rawdon 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.

Rivers and live river levels near Rawdon

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Rawdon watch River Aire, Oil Mill Beck, Farnley Beck, Bradford Beck, Meanwood Beck, River Wharfe, Wortley Beck.

The watercourse nearest Rawdon

Two mapped watercourses are about the same distance from the middle of Rawdon's at-risk postcodes: Gill Beck (about 710 m) and the River Aire (about 720 m), so this page cannot say which one is nearer to you.

Distances along the river are from the point on each watercourse nearest the middle of Rawdon'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. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
