Definition of Chalk stream is a river which derives a significant proportion if its flow from chalk groundwater.
In 2004 the Environment Agency indexed 160 chalk-streams in the Biodiversity Action Group report The State of England’s Chalk Rivers. The index in this paper includes the rivers listed in that 2004 BAP report and is an attempt to go into more detail and itemise all English chalk-streams according to the definition above. It was complied using high detail geological maps available online via the British Geological Survey Map viewer in conjunction with online satellite maps and local knowledge.
