Contact SupplierSalt evaporation ponds, also called salter or salt pans, are shallow artificial ponds designed to produce salts from sea water or other brines. 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, including several endangered species.
They are usually found close to the source of the salt. These pans used in the solar evaporation of salt from sea water are usually found on the coast.
