Sheffield
Flood Risk Overview
Sheffield's location in the steep valleys of the Peak District fringe creates extreme surface water runoff risks. The devastating 2007 floods caused 2 deaths and over £30m in damages when unprecedented rainfall overwhelmed the city's drainage network. Subsequent floods in 2019 and 2023 continued to highlight the city's vulnerability.
