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 Sutton on Trent

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Sutton on Trent watch River Trent.

Distances are from the middle of Sutton on Trent's at-risk postcodes. Tidal and structure gauges are shown as readings only — the tide and sluice gates move them, not floods. A gauge with no recent reading shows no level.

The watercourse nearest Sutton on Trent

The nearest watercourse on the river map is an unnamed stream, about 50 m from the middle of Sutton on Trent's at-risk postcodes. It flows into Cuckstool Dyke about 150 m 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 an unnamed stream nearest the middle of Sutton on 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.
