Field investigations show the relationships of springflow to some climatic variables in southwestern Wisconsin. These observations indicate that springflow fluctuates in much the same manner as recharge to groundwater. In addition, short‐period fluctuations in springflow are caused by changes in barometric pressure. This influence is more pronounced during the dormant season. A good correlation was found between springflow and the base flow of a nearby stream. (Key words: Base flow; springs.)
