Description :
This paper deals with the geochemistry of the lakes and groundwater in the context of Holocene hydrological and climatic changes. The AA. firstly aim to establish comprehensive data sets of the ion chemistries of the waters contained in these lakes on the basis of chemical analysis of water samples. Secondly, they study the recharge mechanisms of these lakes by comparing the lake water with the groundwater. Thirdly, they focus on analyzing the evidences of the Holocene climatic changes, in particular, the evolution of ion chemistries of the lakes.
