Establishing the magnitude and frequency of floods within upland catchments on the basis of short-term gauged runoff records is crucially dependent upon the extent to which the record is truly representative. In the case of the River Dee, upstream of... Read More about The use of long-term rainfall records for augmenting historic flood series: A case study on the upper Dee, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Sources for establishing a Historic Flood Chronology (Pre-1940) within Scottish River Catchments (1987)
Journal Article

Gauged river runoff records extend only over limited timespans, mostly commencing post-1940. Historical sources can provide additional material to assist in extending the hydrological record into the nineteenth century and earlier. Such sources vary,...
