Flood Risk Management

Single Image Display

The Leeds district is at risk of flooding from complex set of multiple sources including: large ‘main rivers’ (Rivers Aire, Wharfe and Calder); small ‘main rivers’ (the Wyke, Wortley, Farnley Wood, Meanwood, Cock, Oulton, and Collingham Becks); ordinary watercourses; public sewers; private sewers; highway gullies and culverts; surface water run-off from fields and open spaces as well as reservoirs and lakes with embankments.

For this reason the Council has developed a co-ordinated approach to managing flood risk by bringing together services with a role in this and by working closely with partner agencies so that there is a consistent approach to the treatment of flood risk.  Please click here to be taken to the Flooding information page.

In an emergency Leeds City Council can be contacted out of hours on telephone number 0113 3760499
and during office hours on 0113 2224407.
