The Humber River Basin District covers an area of 26,109 square kilometres, ranging from the North York Moors to Birmingham, the Pennines to the North Sea and Stoke-on-Trent to Rutland. The river basin district has several major urban centres including Birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield.
Under the Flood Risk Regulations 2009, each lead local flood authority must carry out a preliminary flood risk assessment (PFRA) for its area and review it every 6 years.
PFRAs are used to identify areas where the risk of flooding is significant.
