Different methods using geochemistry (ions Na +, Cl −, Ca 2+, Mg 2+, Br −) and isotopes ( 18O, 2H) are compared with the hydrodynamic information to identify the main processes involved in the increase in mineralization. Along the coast, seawater intrusion resulting from groundwater overexploitation has been identified but is not the only cause of the qualitative degradation: the irrigation development that induces soil leaching and fertilizer transfer to groundwater over the entire extent of the aquifer is another major reason for the increase in mineralization.
