This chapter looks at both screening and advanced tools that can be used to help river managers estimate changes in flood flows. Historical data and ongoing data campaigns are vital components of any forecasts of flood flows. Although climate change means that future

Wright’s resigned yet resolute protagonists show that even hollow hopes can drive people to noble perseverance in

FLOODS A river flood is a flow in excess of the channel capacity to accommodate the peak discharge‚ and occurs when the amount of water arriving on land exceeds the capacity of the land to discharge that water by infiltration‚ surface flow or drainage pipes.

When floods develop‚ the places in which they do so are called water sheds. These water sheds can be either man made or they can be natural. A watershed is defined as an area that is between a land mass and a water source. A watershed can be a lake or a river. If this particular watershed is working appropriately‚ then the water should be drained into the ground naturally. However‚ if there is too much snowfall or rainfall‚ then the watershed cannot hold so much water and this results in overflowing
