Peacock Springs

[JerseyJersey]

great info...thanks.... had a completely different idea in my minds eye of what should be happening..... thought all the spring water comes from areas farther north like GA and local rain not as big an effect.... and that the force of flow keeps river water out so more rain up north = harder spring flow and more rain here = harder river flow..... if both are happening at same time should equal each other out..... apparently not and a lot more for me to learn ....... still not an old hand at it but everything is starting to make more sense

Still not a perfectly localized description, but the next-to-last diagram and related description give a pretty good idea of what's happening:

"One specific case happens when the surface- flowing stream to which the spring discharges is in flood from a storm in its headwaters, but not in the spring's watershed. The flooded stream blocks discharge from the spring, and in some conditions can actually reverse flow into the spring mouth and into the conduits"
