	GENUKI: Definitions of the terms used to describe areas of land and habitation in the county of Yorkshire.
		Yorkshire is(was) by far the largest county in the U.K. and has, since the Domesday survey (1086) contained around 10% of the population of England (which gives it a larger population than Scotland).

		In the case of Yorkshire, there are three county towns, one for each Riding: Northallerton for the North Riding, Beverley for the East Riding, and Wakefield for the West Riding.

	Introduction to the River Calder
		The River Calder rises on the Pennine Moors, West of Todmorden and drains an area of 957 km2.
		The river and its tributaries flow through steep and relatively narrow valleys which react very quickly to rainfall causing rapid rises in water level.
		Due to the proximity of development to the river and the constraints of the valley, this increases the risk of flooding.
