This study focuses on the groundwater geochemistry in a costal multilayer aquiferand aims at investigating the sources and processes of salinization. The RMR basement is constituted by two differentPrecambrian blocks separated by a large lineament area. The sedimentary fillings of the two basins presentdifferent origins that can be distinguished by the Sr isotope composition. The northern deep Beberibe aquifer displaysvery high strontium isotope ratios with a large range of values (87Sr/86Sr = 0.7102 to 0.7233) illustratingthe main continental origin of sediments whereas the southern deep Cabo aquifer showed lower 87Sr/86Sr values(87Sr/86Sr = 0.7097 to 0.7141) indicating the contribution of the marine sedimentation dating from the Atlanticopening. Although sulfate isotopes, Electric Conductivity and Cl contents indicate a clear mixing with seawaterfor some samples of the deep Cabo and Beberibe aquifers, all 87Sr/86Sr values are above the present-day seawatercomposition. This can be related to the complex local history of transgression/regression phases that induced alternativelysalinisation and freshening with gains and losses of cations and Sr, together with water-rock interactions.Stable isotopes of the water molecule clearly evidence the local present day recharge especially within the surficialaquifer, whereas some samples are affected by in situ evaporation processes and/or recharge with evaporatedwater originating from dam used for water supply. The two deep aquifers display a high range of B concentrations(20 to 600 g.L-1) and B isotope composition (11B = 6.7 to 68.5 h, with the highest values known to date(63-68.5h. This suggests multiple sources and processes affecting B behavior, among which mixing with salinewater, B sorption on clays/organic matter and mixing with wastewater. Indeed, the Tertiary and Quaternary surficialaquifers are highly contaminated with wastewater and locally salinized; here salinisation is possibly due to presentseawater intrusion. %G English %2 https://brgm.hal.science/hal-01103181/document %2 https://brgm.hal.science/hal-01103181/file/EGU2015-10320%20%281%29.pdf %L hal-01103181 %U https://brgm.hal.science/hal-01103181 %~ INSU %~ BRGM %~ UNIV-RENNES1 %~ UR2-HB %~ CNRS %~ GR %~ OSUR %~ UR1-HAL %~ UR1-SDLM %~ UR1-SDLMJONCH %~ GR-DIMENV %~ UNIV-RENNES2 %~ TEST-UNIV-RENNES %~ TEST-UR-CSS %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ INRAE %~ ANR %~ UR1-ENV %~ GR-ET
