AbstractThis paper (a) aims to demonstrate the basic principles of groundwater resource model development by means of an example, and (b) describes the development of the Yorkshire Chalk groundwater model (YORKMOD), undertaken on behalf of the National Rivers Authority † and Yorkshire Water Services. The model incorporates a permeability‐depth function to represent fissuring in the Chalk, and has been successfully calibrated against observed groundwater heads and springflows for the period 1975–1992 inclusive.
