Sumario:Geochemical processes are associated to weathering and denudation in humid environments. Waste of chemical material in watersheds and fl uvial systems have already been studied all around the world, testifying its signifi cance. However, the role of river springs in geochemical denudation is still unknown. This paper aims Informações sobre o ArtigoRecebido (Received):06/10/2015Aceito (Accepted):15/11/2015Palavras-chave: Nascente; Hidrogeoquímica; Carga Dissolvida.Keywords: Spring; Hydrogeochemistry; Dissolved Load. to investigate the contribution of river springs to geochemical waste by studying two cases at the western edge of the southern Serra do Espinhaço, Minas Gerais state. During a hydrological year, 23 river springs were studied to calculate taxes of total dissolved solids and geochemical lost. The results show that the hydrogeological origin and the hydrogeomorphological dynamics of springs are the main control factor to their contribution to geochemical denudation. Nevertheless, while some springs in quartzite register a geochemical waste less than 10.0 kg/ano, one of the carbonate spring reaches 45,000.0 kg/ano (a value comparable with major order rivers). Therefore, it seems that the role of springs to geochemical denudation and consequently to landscape evolution is more complex and signifi cant than we presumed.
