Magnitude of floods British Columbia, Yukon Territory / Planning and Studies Section, Water Resources Branch.: En39-46/1982E-PDF
"This report is a compilation of the annual flood series from 690 gauging stations in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. To aid in forecasting the probability of occurrence of high flows, the historical flood series have been plotted on log-extremal paper. At the back of this report is a table listing the 50-year, 100-year and 200-year flood estimates obtained by fitting four probability distributions to those stations with at least nine years of record. ... Most of the data were obtained from listings of streamflows and station descriptions that were produced from the magnetic tape files maintained by the Water Survey of Canada. These listings provide the latest revised version of data to 1980 originally published in the Surface Water Data papers"--Pref.
