Abstract: In arid and semi-arid areas, the groundwater is the main source of water supply and agricultural activity. Overexploitation of coastal aquifers and pollution vulnerability are among the main problems related to groundwater resources assessment and management in these zones. In fact, in the last decades, these resources have been threatened by a degradation of their quality and quantity that furthers natural and anthropic effects, such as climate change, seawater intrusion and overexploitation. However, the protection and management of these resources requires knowledge of the origin of their mineralization. In this study, the Essaouira basin is selected as a typical example. Stable isotopes (18O and 2H) together with geochemical data were used to identify the groundwater salinization origin in the coastal aquifers of the Essaouira basin. The results of both the approaches show that the groundwater mineralization is due to: (1) the dissolution of salt minerals, (2) the ion exchange phenomena, (3) seawater intrusion, and (4) sulphate reduction. Also, the recharge is supported by fast infiltration of oceanic precipitation without significant evaporation.

Abstract: The palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic evolution of the Serres basin from the end of mid-Miocene to the end of the Miocene is examined. Lignites were deposited over a thick sequence of conglomerates and sands. Fossils found in the lignites indicate a lacustrine environment with tropical-subtropical climatic conditions. The climate became progressively drier and only small lakes were reserved during the Messinian salinity crisis. Deposition of lake sediments finally ended with the world-wide Pliocene marine transgression. A correlation of the Serres basin with other lacustrine basins in the Aegean area is attempted.
