The work was carried out by independent scientists from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH - www.ceh.ac.uk), the UK’s centre of excellence for research in the land and freshwater environmental sciences, and the British Geological Survey (BGS - www.bgs.ac.uk), the UK’s premier centre for earth science information and expertise. Funding was provided by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC - www.nerc.ac.uk).
This report is an output for the National Hydrological Monitoring Programme (NHMP), operated jointly by the CEH and the BGS. The hydrometric data analysed in this report were provided primarily by the UK hydrometric measuring authorities (the Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and, in Northern Ireland, the Rivers Agency); a substantial proportion of the meteorological data used was provided by the Met Offi ce. The views expressed in this report are not necessarily those of the measuring authorities. The NHMP was set up in 1988 to document hydrological and water resources variability across the UK. The measuring authorities, together with Defra and OFWAT, provide fi nancial support for the production of monthly.
