Abstract. Keating (1982) used a lumped parameter model to explain an unusual chalk aquifer consisting of a thin zone of high storage and transmissivity whose response of small annual fluctuations and high stream flows were considered to be anomalous. A similar model has been further developed and used in a preliminary desk study of possible river augmentation schemes. The model developments incorporate stream bed leakage to the aquifer and saturated depth varying transmissivity. As a result the model is versatile in its ability to test a variety of control rules for ground‐water abstraction. The newly incorporated factors are significant for assessment of the degree of success of augmentation proposals. This lumped model gave valuable guidance for future field investigations.
