HiFlows-UK Homepage
The Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH) is the basis for most current flood estimation in the United Kingdom. This website provides updated flood peak data for use with the methods in the FEH.
Specifically, this HiFlows-UK website provides:
- updated flood peak data at around 1000 river flow gauging stations in the UK
- additional information about the gauging stations to allow hydrologists to make informed judgements
These webpages assume some knowledge of flood hydrology and the Flood Estimation Handbook.
News - version 2.2 now released!
The data are now available up to 30 September 2006 (end of water year 2005/2006).
The version number is 2.2, release date 30 May 2008.
See the "Note on version 2.2" on the Download page for details
Summary of revision history
Version 1.1 was released on 1 August 2005 with data to 30 September 2003.
Version 2.2 was released on 30 May 2008 with data to 30 September 2006.
Summary of Version 2.2
a) provides new download data
b) some information, stage data, and rating curves (and hence flow data) for previous years have been amended
The webpages have not yet been updated from version 1.1 - this means that what you see on the webpages (e.g. AMAX) is older than the download data.
The Content Management System used by the Environment Agency's website is being changed, and new webpages will be provided once that has occurred.
