The National River Flow Archive, which is hosted by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH), has contributed to a river flow dataset from over 4,000 river flow monitoring stations in 38 countries as part of a new study which suggests climate change has a real impact on flood events in some regions across Europe.

This is the first time a link with climate change has been shown at a large, continental scale using observations alone, as opposed to using computer simulation models.
