16/180 |
The reference in the second sentence, (Bayliss and Jones, 1994), should read (Bayliss, 1994). It has been omitted from the references listed on page 282, and should have been included there as: Bayliss, A. C. 1994. On the variability of flood occurrence. Report to MAFF, Institute of Hydrology, Wallingford, UK. |

22/264 |
Within Figure 22.2, the two diagrams labelled (a) and (b), have been transposed. Fig 22.2(a) is in fact the Annual maximum data, while Fig 22.2(b) illustrates the POT records. |
10/5/00 |

22/269 |
Within the first sentence of Section 22.5.3, 'extending holdings' should read 'extending pre-FEH holdings'. |

The top line of the equation at the top of the page should read |
7/2/02 |

2/24 |
The exponents used in the intermediate step of example 2.3a are incorrect as listed. The line should read: Tp(0) = 4.270 (101.40)-0.35 (0.54)-0.80 (8.50)0.54 (1.026)-5.77. The answer, 3.80 hours, is correct as shown. |
24/7/00 |

3/55 |
Line 5 should read 'D/Tp ratios between 1.4 and 3.4', not ... between 1.4 and 5.0. |
18/7/00 |

3/55 |
The y-axis scale on the graph in Figure 3.10 is a factor of 10 times too large; it should run from 0.25 to 0.60 (rather than 2.5 to 6.0). |
22/7/02 |

4/69 |
The title of the top part of Table 4.2 should read 'Winter PMP as % of all-year value', NOT '... all-year 1-hour value'. |

Step 3: The API5 calculation equation, and computed answer, are incorrect. The equation should read: API5 = √0.5 [Pd-1 + (0.5)Pd-2 + (0.5)2 Pd-3 + API5 = √0.5 [5.4 + (0.5) 33.3 + (0.5)2 5.0 + The incorrect value of 10.8 mm has been used in the remainder of the example, so the suggestion is to consider the example as simply illustrating the technique for a value of API5 = 10.8 mm. |

The first sentence of Step 9 should refer to BF from Step 8, not from Step 7. |

In Example 9.1, the DPSBAR values for the total catchment and East subcatchment are quoted as 101.40 m/km and 76.29 m/km, but the equivalent values abstracted from the FEH CD-ROM are 145.90 m/km and 138.60 m/km, respectively. It is unclear where this discrepancy originated. The incorrect values of 101.40 m/km and 76.29 m/km have been used in the remainder of the example, so the suggestion is to consider the example as simply illustrating the technique assuming these values. |
22/7/02 |

Appx A/163 |
Equation A.2 is incorrect. It should be: API5 = √0.5 [Pd-1 + (0.5) Pd-2 + (0.5)2 Pd-3 + |
7/6/00 |

Appx A/164 |
Example A.1c. API5 equations should read: API5 = √0.5 [Pd-1 + (0.5) Pd-2 + (0.5)2 Pd-3 + API5 = √0.5 [3.0 + (0.5)0.0 + (0.5)2 0.0 + |

'g mean' for station 33045 should be 17.4 and not 7.4 as shown. |
22/10/01 |

Appx C/247 |
Under RSMD - the equation to estimate ARF is incorrectly given as ARF = exp (- 0.020 AREA)0.25. The bracket should be outside the 0.25 power, i.e. 'ARF = exp (- 0.020 AREA 0.25)'. |
16/8/06 |
4 |
Appx D/275 |
Equation D.3 should read 'A (dh/dt) = i + Ap-q' |
18/7/00 |

Appx D/276 |
Equation D.8 Delete the term (dS/dh), and replace it by '(dh/dt)'. |

8/124 |
In Example 8.1, SPR from HOST is incorrectly shown in two places as 36.5%. The correct value is 52.6%. The incorrect value of 36.5% has been used throughout the example - so the suggestion is to consider the example as simply illustrating the technique for a value of SPR = 36.5%. |
