Summary

This is a set of six ASCII grids describing the peak flood event for six return periods (2-100 years) at each point of the river network in the state of Kerala, India. Estimates were derived in a similar way to the Flood Estimation Handbook* approach. The data is measured in cubic metres per second, and is given on an unprojected resolution of 15 arc-seconds per grid cell. This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council as part of the LAWIS programme delivering National Capability. * (Flood Estimation Handbook. Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, 1999, ISBN: 9781906698003) Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/cba9f9db-4706-4f1e-aaf4-fd7769e00db0
