Abstract
⺠From analysis of spectrophotometric properties of dissolved organic matter (OM) and the hydrochemical responses of some karst springs. ⺠Characterization of the origin and transfer pathway of the organic matter present in the water, from soil and epikarst toward the spring. ⺠Most of the organic compounds present in the water from these springs are associated with the fulvic-like substances. ⺠A small proportion of organic matter is originated in situ as a result of microbiological activity. ⺠Existence of a relation between intrinsic fluorescence and some hydrochemical variables (TOC and NO3â), related to rapid water flows from the soil toward the aquifer.
