Salt evaporation ponds

Salt evaporation ponds are shallow man-made pools used to extract salt from seawater or saltwater sources. Water is directed into these ponds, where it naturally evaporates under the sun and wind, leaving behind salt crystals. The process relies on the natural environment to concentrate the salt, making harvesting efficient and eco-friendly. These ponds are often arranged in a series of shallow basins, allowing control over the evaporation process. Once the salt reaches the desired purity and size, it is collected, processed, and prepared for commercial use, primarily for food, industry, and other applications.
