Abstract
During the period 1988-92, the south and east of England were subjecte d to drought conditions. Data from 10 catchments and three groundwater level records were analysed using runoff and groundwater deficit indi ces to place the drought in its historical perspective. In parts of ea stern England the drought was the most extreme - in terms of runoff de ficit-for at least 150 years. It was less notable in other parts of so uthern England, but still extreme.
