摘要：

This paper aims to assess the magnitude and frequency of flooding over the past 200 years within sub-catchments in the middle River Tweed basin, Berwickshire, Scotland. The recurrence interval of floods as represented by short-term gauged discharge records (post-1948) can then be placed in a longer term context. A range of historical sources is consulted and four chronologies recording dates of major flood occurrences in each sub-catchment are produced. Individual floods are ranked in relation to other known events on the same river and, where possible, estimates of recurrence intervals provided. The seasonality and associated hydro-meteorological conditions, which generated the floods, are also assessed. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
