  • Historical Flash Floods in England: New Regional Chronologies and Database
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Newcastle University E-Prints Historical flash floods in England: new regional chronologies and database David Archer1,2, Greg O’Donnell1, Rob Lamb2,3, Sarah Warren2, Hayley J. Fowler1 1. Water Resource Systems Research Laboratory, School of Engineering, Newcastle University, UK, NE1 7RU 2. JBA Trust, South Barn, Broughton Hall, Skipton, North Yorks., BD23 3AE, UK 3. Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, LA1 4YQ, UK Corresponding author: Greg O’Donnell Department of Engineering Newcastle University Newcastle upon Tyne, UK NE1 7RU Email: [email protected] Abstract There is increasing interest in past occurrences of flooding from intense rainfall, commonly referred to as ‘flash flooding’, and the associated socioeconomic consequences. Historical information can help us to place recent events in context and to understand the effect of low frequency climate variability on changing flash flood frequencies. Previous studies have focussed on fluvial flooding to reconstruct the temporal and spatial patterns of past events. Here, we provide an online flood chronology for the north and south-west of England for flash floods, including both surface water and fluvial flooding, with coverage from ~1700 to ~2013 (http://ceg-fepsys.ncl.ac.uk/fc). The primary source of documentary material is local newspaper reports, which often give detailed descriptions of impacts. This provides a new resource to inform communities and first responders of flood risks, especially those from rapid rise in water level whose severity may be greater than those of accompanying peak flow. Examples are provided of historical flash floods that exemplify how the chronologies can help to place recent floods in the context of the pre-instrumental record for: (1) more robust estimates of event return period, (2) identification of catchment or settlement susceptibility to flash flood events, (3) characterisation of events in ungauged catchments.
