Use HiFlows-UK to find flood peak data at river flow gauging stations in the UK.
HiFlows-UK provides flood peak data and station information, at around 1000 river flow gauging stations throughout the UK, for use with the statistical flood estimation methods setout in the Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH). The FEH is the basis for most current flood estimation in the United Kingdom.
This website is primarily aimed at experienced flood hydrologists wanting to estimate peak flood flows by FEH methods for locations throughout the UK, and the web pages assume a knowledge appropriate to such people.
The HiFlows-UK data are an updated and enhanced version of the data contained in Volume 3 of the FEH. HiFlows-UK contains significantly more* data than the FEH dataset, incorporating the results of subsequent data reviews to improve data quality, and additional information on each station, including the indicative suitability of the data.
In December 2008 we released version 2.2.1 which contains data up to 30 September 2006 (end of water year 2005/2006).

Locate a gauging station
Displays the full search criteria available. Enter all the information you wish and then press Enter or click on Go (at the bottom of the page). The search criteria are extensive, but you need only complete the boxes you wish. Many gauging stations are not in HiFlows-UK. There may be alternative ways of spelling some stations, so you could repeat the search with only a key part of the name.
Displays the UK by gauging authority region - click on the region required. The regional maps show the main rivers with the gauging stations as triangles - hovering the mouse over a triangle reveals the river and station name. Click on the triangle to go to that Station Home page.
