- River Mole and its tributaries from Kinnersley Manor to South Hersham
What this does and does not mean
Sitting inside a flood area does not mean a property will flood. It means the Environment Agency monitors that stretch and issues warnings for it when flooding becomes likely. Equally, being outside one is no guarantee - surface water flooding after heavy rain is a separate risk and is not covered by river warning areas at all.
