Collection: North West River Basin District preliminary flood risk assessments

The North West River Basin District is home to over 6.8 million people and some of the most stunning landscapes and water environments in the world. A large part of the region is rural and has 3 national parks, including the Lake District National Park.

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.
