Precipitation in the Econfina Creek basin is measured at the Northwest Florida Water Management District Field Office. Measurements are recorded at ten minute intervals and daily totals were calculated for the purpose of this study. The stage of Econfina Creek is measured at several locations along its course. For the purpose of this study, the stage at County Road 388 is used due to its location downstream of the Econfina Springs discharge. Stage is recorded at ten minute intervals as well but daily average stage was calculated for this work. During the period of the spring inventory along Econfina Creek, precipitation and stage were neither extremely high nor extremely low. The “typical” conditions neither aided nor hindered efforts to locate springs. Figure 5 illustrates the relationship between precipitation and stage in the basin.
