Abstract
Groundwater is an excellent alternative to meet public water supply demands, especially in the face of the water crisis and pollution of surface water bodies. Many municipalities throughout the national territory use water from springs for urban water supply. Barra Mansa, a city located in the southern Fluminense region, is an example of this. The aim of this study was to evaluate the water quality of three springs located in the city of Barra Mansa, in order to verify its water potential. The results obtained showed the water potential of the Municipality, revealing, however, the state of degradation and the risk of contamination of groundwater, imposing the need to develop measures to preserve, prevent and mitigate anthropic impacts on the water sources. In this way, the questions proposed here may contribute to a reflection about the exploration of the sources and the implications inherent to its use.

The globalized world, in which consumption has increased exponentially, and generates the need for more products, has brought negative consequences for the natural environment, especially water resources.In this context are the springs, which are water outcrops of water that emerge from the surface and can be an excellent resource to meet local demands.This text aims to study the springs of the Barra Mansa
The present study aimed to evaluate the water quality of three springs located in the city of Barra Mansa, in order to verify their water potential and generate data that may contribute to the development of public policies, management and governance for sustainable use from water
Disposal of urban and industrial solid waste, gas stations and washing stations modernization of agriculture. This demonstrates the contribution of anthropic actions to the degradation of the underground water body, so that educational measures and integrated management of effluents, waste and economic activities should be considered in the actions of groundwater governance to promote conscious, sustainable and, above all, responsible
