	Hydrological Review 2002 - River Flows (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		A significant proportion of rivers in eastern Scotland and in Northern Ireland (where flow records generally begin in the 1970s) established new maximum annual runoff totals; in the case of the River Annacloy the previous maxima was exceeded by >25%.
		Flows in rivers throughout north-west Scotland were generally depressed throughout the full flow range whereas in eastern Scotland flows were atypically high; this was true of many rivers in Northern Ireland and some draining impermeable catchments in the English Lowlands also.
		Away from rivers in northern Scotland, a feature of most flow duration curves is the degree by which the 95% exceedance flow (a commonly used index of low flows) was greater than the long term average, confirming the transient nature of depressed runoff rates in the summer and autumn of 2002.

	Habitat: Introduction
		Alluvium (a sediment of clay, silt, sand, etc.) is deposited in the valley by the River Etherow.
