 Hydrological Review 2003 - River Flows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
River flows displayed wide temporal variations during January which began with remarkably high flows – and extensive flooding – across much of southern Britain as many rivers exercised their natural right of dominion over their floodplains.
Some increases in river flow occurred in western catchments towards the end of August but generally the summer recessions continued and, with natural storage greatly depleted in permeable catchments, runoff rates were generally depressed during the second half of the month.
Rivers draining impermeable western and northern catchments were characterised by exceptional low October mean flows – the lowest since 1972 in much of northern Britain and Northern Ireland.
