14.A salt evaporation pond is a shallow artificial salt pan designed to extract salts from sea water or other brines. Natural salt pans are geological formations that are also created by water evaporating and leaving behind salts. Some salt evaporation ponds are only slightly modified from their natural version, such as the ponds on Great Inagua in the Bahamas, or the ponds in Jasiira, a few kilometres south of Mogadishu, where seawater is trapped and left to evaporate in the sun.
The seawater or brine is fed into large ponds and water is drawn out through natural evaporation which allows the salt to be subsequently harvested.
The ponds also provide a productive resting and feeding ground for many species of waterbirds, which may include endangered species.[1] The ponds are commonly separated by levees. Salt evaporation ponds may also be called salterns, salt works or salt pans.
Notable salt ponds include:
The Salterns of Guérande, in Loire-Atlantique, France. The salt produced in the salterns are a protected geographical indication in Europe.
The Cáhuil salt ponds, in the O'Higgins Region, Chile.
The Salineras de Maras, Peru, in the Cusco Region.
The saltworks of Alcácer do Sal, Comporta, and Castro Marim in Portugal
The El Caracol solar evaporator, on the outskirts of Mexico City, Mexico.
The Sečovlje and Strunjan salt ponds on the northern edge of the Adriatic Sea in Slovenia.
The San Francisco Bay salt ponds in the United States, formerly operated by Cargill,[2][3][4][5] including Charleston Slough. Cargill has since ended salt production in the area, and most of the ponds are being restored to a more natural state.
