It has: been compiled by-Mr C. A. Cowie, B.E., and checked by Mr A. K. Attwood, B.E., Assistant Engineers, Ministry ofWorks, during their period of secondment to the Council's staff.
A summary of. the floods which occurred during the period 1920-30 was compiled by the Meteorological Service of the Air Department, and it is from this that the present volume has grown. Where possible major floods prior to 1920 have been included, both to afford a comparison and to extend the record, but there are very few reliable data available prior to that year.
