AB At southern Cordoba Province (Spain), an evaporitic karst plateau drained by brinesprings is located. A periodic monitoring of discharge rate, EC, water temperature,and pH was performed in one of them (Lower Anzur spring) and water samples werecollected for chemical analysis. Physicochemical data were used to perform a principalcomponent analysis (PCA) to characterize the functioning of the system. Temporalevolution of the controlled parameters reveals a markedly karst behavior. PCA hasdefined two principal factors, one related to salinity and other linked to infiltrationprocesses (NO3−, Ca2+). The slight thermal anomaly and the high mineralizationregistered indicate the existence of ascending regional groundwater flows of longresidence time, which would converge into the spring, mixed with recently infiltratedwater that circulated through a conduit network formed in the evaporite rocks
