Historical Flood Data

Historical Flood Data is a type of hydrological record that consists of documented flood events, including their timing, magnitude, and spatial extent, derived from pre-instrumental or non-systematic sources such as archives, newspapers, and local chronicles, distinguished by its reliance on non-gauged observations to extend the flood event timeline beyond the period of systematic instrumental measurement.
