             abstract = "Headwater catchments are important areas for the river formation, 
                         but they are fragile and are often threatened due to their 
                         dependence on land contributions. Thus, their land-use/land-cover 
                         patterns can play an important role in the water quality 
                         conservation. In this context, the aim of this study was to 
                         evaluate the relation of land-use/land-cover patterns with the 
                         water quality of two headwater catchments of the same watershed, 
                         with the same slope, shape and size in the State of S{\~a}o 
                         Paulo, Brazil. The land-use/land-cover pattern was analyzed 
                         regarding its composition and configuration, by using landscape 
                         metrics. Water quality variables were obtained every two weeks 
                         during a hydrological year. We performed a multivariate test to 
                         check for differences between the catchments based on the water 
                         quality data. The catchments presented similar land-use/land-cover 
                         composition but differed in terms of landscape configuration. They 
                         showed overall good water quality, but the catchment that has 
                         aggregated forest cover showed water quality a little higher than 
                         the other, which has higher forest fragmentation. Thus, our 
                         results showed that the forest cover contributes to the water 
                         quality maintenance, however, the forest fragmentation influences 
                         negatively on sediment retention. Agricultural practices in these 
                         headwater catchments should be managed in order to ensure the 
                         water quality maintenance aiming the water sources conservation 
                         downstream.",
