Environment Agency produced the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment Map for the Solway Tweed River Basin District. This dataset contains an interactive map and supporting guidance showing land use, topography, and river basin components to inform flood risk understanding. It supports the national Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment for England report required under the Flood Risk Regulations (2009).
Use Cases
