Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment Map for Dee River Basin District

An interactive map and supporting guidance inform flood risk understanding across the Dee River Basin District. The dataset contains layers showing land use, topography, river basins, and the coastline. It was produced by the Environment Agency and partners to meet the requirements of the Flood Risk Regulations (2009).

Use Cases

• Visualizing flood risk zones based on land use and topographic layers
• Supporting catchment-scale flood risk assessments as required by the Flood Risk Regulations (2009)
• Informing land-use planning decisions using integrated geospatial data on rivers and topography

Strengths

• Integrates data from multiple authoritative sources, including the Environment Agency, Ordnance Survey, and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.
• Provides a geospatial foundation for a statutory Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment report.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
