'every other year'. QMED is formally defined as the middle-ranking value in the series of
annual maximum floods, where the annual series comprises the largest flow observed in each
year".

Guide, Version 4, March 2008 – “If the surface water run-off is from areas constructed after 1
April 2007, the site must be drained by Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) or if the
surface water runoff is from a construction site operated after 1 April 2007, the site must be
drained by a SUDS or equivalent. The only exceptions are if the runoff is from a single
dwelling and its curtilage, or if the discharge is to coastal water”.
