A salt lake or saline lake is a landlocked body of water that has a concentration of salts (typically sodium chloride) and other dissolved minerals significantly higher than most lakes (often defined as at least three grams of salt per liter). [1] .

2017年10月23日 · Many of the world's saline lakes are shrinking at alarming rates, reducing waterbird habitat and economic benefits while threatening human health. Saline lakes are long-term basin-wide...

2024年9月17日 · The Saline Lake Ecosystems IWAA is using an integrated scientific approach to monitor and assess water availability, migratory birds, and other wildlife dependent on saline lakes.

Saline lakes (i.e., bodies of water that have salinities in excess of 3 grams per litre) are widespread and occur on all continents, including Antarctica. Saline lakes include the largest lake in the world, the Caspian Sea; the lowest lake, the Dead Sea; and many of the highest lakes, such as those in Tibet and on the Altiplano of South America.

Twenty saline lakes across California, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah were identified by USGS partners as priority ecosystems. They include: The USGS Integrated Water Availability Assessments (IWAAs) are multidisciplinary, stakeholder driven, scientific assessments and predictions of water demand for human and ecological needs.

The world’s largest lake (in terms of surface area) is a saline lake, the Caspian Sea. Most such lakes are a result of interior drainage wherein streams or snowmelt waters feed into lakes that do not possess outlets.

2023年11月5日 · Salt lakes, saline lakes, and endorheic lakes are all terms used to describe lakes that have a high concentration of salt. These lakes are typically found in arid regions where evaporation rates are high and there is little or no outflow of water.

A hypersaline lake is a landlocked body of water that contains significant concentrations of sodium chloride, brines, and other salts, with saline levels surpassing those of ocean water (3.5%, i.e. 35 grams per litre or 0.29 pounds per US gallon).

Saline lakes occur in the hydrographically lowest areas of arid environments within closed-drainage basins (Hardie et al, 1978). They can be categorized into several categories: ephemeral, perennial, acidic, and alkaline (Hardie et al, 1978).
