The “acequias de careo”, an ancestral surface water management technique, play a relevant role in the hydrological functioning of Sierra Nevada (South of Spain). In this study, hydrochemical and isotopic characterization of groundwater in the high mountain basin of Bérchules is carry out. For this study, data from 45 samples of springs, collected between July and September of 2019, has been used. From these data, groundwater samples can be classified under three main aspects: hydrochemical facies, lithology of the water upwelling points and its relationships with the acequias de careo. Different arguments are provided in favor of the influence of the acequias de careo on the composition of most of the groundwater in the Bérchules river basin.
