   Water at the Bennett gaging station was considered to be a thoroughly mixed combination of spring water and non-spring water. Flow at the Bennett gaging station, attributable to springs, was calculated from the formula:
                 K-K
            QS=   K    -KW  Qb
                   s      n
    where: QS is spring flow.
            Qb is streamfiow at Bennett
            K is specific conductance of spring water
            K  is specific conductance of non-spring water
            Kb is specific conductance of the mixture

Figure 26 shows the flow of Econfina Creek during non-flood periods and that portion attributable to springs for 1963. Spring flow contributes about two-thirds of the total flow of Econfina Creek.
