The study area is a small coastal plain drained by an ephemeral stream networksubject of several pollutant discharges such as oilfield brine coming from a neighboring oilcompany and wastewater from Somaa city located in the upstream of the plain. Furthermore,a hydraulic depression of more than -5 m a.s.l is observed near the coastal part of the aquifer.Associated with high salinity of groundwater, it is the proof of seawater intrusion. TimeDomain Electromagnetic method (TDEM) based on 28 soundings was conducted in Wadi AlAyn plain to delineate the saline groundwater. Basing on longitudinal and transversalresistivity 2D-pseudosections calibrated with observed boring data, resistivity values lesssaltwater plume. Measured electrical conductivity of groundwaterwas also used for calibration. In the upstream part of the plain, the saltwater plume is due tothe infiltration of oilfield brine through the sandy bed of Wadi Al Ayn. It is longitudinallyfound in depths reaching -75 m. However, in the coastal part of the aquifer, groundwatersalinization is due to seawater intrusion and the salty water is located between 30 – 60 mdepth and has an inland extent around 2 km from the shore line.Keywords: Wadi Al Ayn plain, saline intrusion, TDEM, resistivity sounding56
