Metal concentrations were homogeneous (Ni; 22.7-50.6 mu g L-1) or not (Fe; 37-749 mu g L-1). Concentrations of Ni, Cr, Fe were high, including high dissolved fractions (up to 47.8, 70.8 and 417 mu g L-1, respectively). Concentrations of anthropogenic metals (Ag, As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb, V, Zn) were low (maximum: total Cu, 0.6 mu g L-1). The contamination of waters is presumably due to soil weathering and mining activities. Metal concentrations and phosphate depletion (<0.04 mu mol L-1) suggest constrained conditions for the development of aquatic life. 038 ; 036 ; 062 UR202
