	Located at the North-Eastern region of Algeria, the coastal aquifer of Taleza has a potential storage of groundwater. It contains hundreds of private wells installed by the population for several purposes including drinking water. Recently, the groundwater has become quite salinized. Furthermore, some people have given rise to the presence of a terrible odor, which smells as rotten eggs, in the groundwater pumped from their wells. Our first provided answer mentions that groundwater quality is mostly controlled by two factors: 1) the natural processes such as aquifer{\textquoteright}s lithology, and soil/rock interactions with groundwater, and 2) anthropogenic activities such as agricultural production, industrial growth, urbanization with increasing exploitation of water resources, and private sanitation systems. However, the anthropogenic activities can be considered as the most serious sources of groundwater contamination. Unfortunately, most of Taleza{\textquoteright}s people don{\textquoteright}t have any idea about the anthropogenic groundwater contamination, and their raised question is {\guillemotleft} Is there still a chance to save the groundwater in Taleza aquifer? {\guillemotright}. An urgent, efficient and durable groundwater protection planning is required in order to limit, and potentially improve the effects of the anthropogenic sources on groundwater quality within aquifer. In fact, determining the origin of saline components in aquifer of Taleza may provide more precision about the development of salinization process, and constitutes a useful tool to propose alternative solutions for ensuring the long-term protection of water resources. Accordingly, it is planned to perform a Multi-tracer study, combining isotopic and hydro-geochemical analysis, to identify the origin and fate of groundwater salinization. But firstly, the studying process will be started by reviewing the potential anthropogenic sources of groundwater contamination related to the Taleza territory. Our proposed communication describes a review of these potential anthropogenic sources, which potentially have led to the degradation of groundwater quality.
