River Flow Data - Time Series Downloads

A time series download facility has been developed, to provide access to full daily flow datasets for around 200 representative gauging stations throughout the UK.

The gauging stations included in this initial data release are mainly those with the longer records for which flows have been included in the series of 'Yearbook' publications (which ended with the 1995 Yearbook in the Hydrological data UK series). Generally, data are featured for the full period of record held on the National River Flow Archive.

Ownership of the data, or the associated Intellectual Property Rights, will not normally be transferred. Data received from the NRFA must not be sold, or passed on to any third party.
