Short summary
This study used hydrodynamic and hydrogeochemical data to understand the salinization processes of the crystalline groundwater (GW) in Ceará, Brazil. Results demonstrate that GW is generally recent and recharged by meteoric waters mainly through localized infiltration. The study suggests that GW, originally bicarbonated, becomes progressively enriched in chloride due to the dissolution and leaching of salts that have precipitated in the unsaturated zone and pond sediments during dryer periods.
