The River Derwent: Note upon the flood of 23rd September, 1884.
journal contribution
posted on 2023-11-22, 08:29 authored by Alfred MaultIt may be useful to put upon record a few observations upon the late flood in the River Derwent.
Residents in the valley above New Norfolk say that the flood of the 23rd of last month was higher than any seen since the great flood of 1863.
I should say that at the height of the flood on the 23rd September about nine million tons of water were passing every hour, about 21 times the mean hourly flow of 430,000 tons.
