Description: Functions to implement the methods of the Flood Estimation
        Handbook (FEH), associated updates and the revitalised flood
        hydrograph model (ReFH). Currently the package uses NRFA peak
        flow dataset version 15. Aside from FEH functionality, further
        hydrological functions are available. Most of the methods
        implemented in this package are described in one or more of the
