A quick method of defining design peak flows and hydrographs for any point on the River Thames between Days weir and Teddington is offered as a design tool for flood analysis. This paper presents the findings of a flood frequency and flood hydrograph analysis for the River Thames. The results were used in a hydraulic analysis of the river and its floodplain at Reading, but showed a wider application of the method on the river.
