The major emphasis throughout the document is on the estimation of design floods. It evaluates available design procedures and provides separate design information for individual regions where possible, provides more specific guidance to designers on procedures and design values to be used, on the concepts involved in the procedures and their application, and on likely accuracies. Detailed hydraulic design for urban drainage, where the hydraulic and hydrologic aspects of design are mutually dependent, is included in Book VIII.
