The Environment Agency will be making reservoir flood maps available on their website from Autumn 2010. You will be able to use these to find out if you live or work in an area that could flood from a reservoir.
In the meantime you can contact your local Environment Agency office if you would like to view the reservoir flood map for your area. Call the EA National Customer Contact centre on 08708 506 506 to arrange an appointment.
For more about reservoirs, reservoir flooding and local emergency plans, please refer to the guidance pages on the Environment Agency website:
