Enhancing water management in Northern European lowland chalk streams: A parsimonious, high-resolution hydrological model using groundwater level as a proxy for baseflow by Thomas Homan, Nicholas J.K. Howden, Ruth Barden, Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern, Jan Hofman

“…New hydrological insights for the region: Our results show that chalk stream dry-weather flows can be simulated accurately and parsimoniously at high-resolution (Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency = 0.97, mean relative error = 2.86 %, for a five-year period). We also show that spring discharges are the dominant form of flow accretion in all seasons and are critical to dilute sewage treatment inputs during the ecological growing season, whilst runoff and quick-flow pathways in the river valley corridor contribute a small proportion to annual flow accretion (< 5.2 %). …”
