A field investigation into low flow augmentation using seasonal ground‐water abstraction from the unconfined Chalk aquifer in Hampshire, United Kingdom, revealed the presence of a thin, highly transmissive and storative zone in the Chalk close to the water table. A lumped parameter model of the aquifer‐stream system incorporating a variable transmissivity and storativity distribution has been developed to explain the unusual hydrogeological features of the catchment observed during the investigation.
