The present study aims to highlight the importance of vegetation in urban springs for the protection, mitigation of impacts, and maintenance of water resources. To this end, data were obtained by the project named “Água para o Futuro”, in evaluations carried out in the municipality of Cuiabá, and statistically processed in an R programming environment. The analyses show that only 15 out of a total of 58 springs evaluated in this study are conserved, indicating that most of the springs are degraded, with suppression of native vegetation, colonized by exotic and ruderal species that do not provide the same ecosystem services offered by native species. It is hoped that, with the publication of scientific papers based on these results, it will be possible to promote a discussion in society about the dilemma of environmental conservation in urban spring areas.
