Through this research it was possible to identify the methods that contribute to the recovery and conservation of springs, aiming to understand and highlight the actions of the Environment Secretariat and the groups of environmental researchers from Saúde – Bahia as relevant in the attempt to revitalize the water eye, however not being sufficient to recover it.
