Nottingham

High Risk Risk Score: 76/100

Flood Risk Overview

Nottingham sits on a low-lying floodplain at the confluence of the River Trent and Leen, making it naturally prone to surface water flooding. Extensive urban development has increased runoff, and the city's sandstone geology can become saturated, reducing infiltration capacity.
