	Lake Magadi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lake Magadi is the southermost lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, lying north east of Lake Natron.
		It is a saline, alkaline lake, approximately 100 square kilometers in size, that lies in a graben.
		The lake water, which is a dense sodium carbonate brine, precipitates vast quanitites of the mineral called trona (sodium sesquicarbonate).

	Lake Balkhash
		Lake Balkhash, in Kazakhstan, is the largest moderately saline lake of Central Asia.
		North of Lake Balkhash are the southern semi-arid Kazakh Uplands, and south, the Saryesik-Atryan Desert.
		The gradual degradation of the lake ecosystems is being hastened by the construction of hydroelectric installations in China to the southeast.

	Ian Parker's Photography, Saline Valley
		Saline Valley lies in classic ‘basin and range’ country, to the adjacent to Death Valley, and largely within the expanded reach of the National Park.
		Saline Valley is infrequently visited, as no paved roads lead to it; but a 70 mile dirt road traverses the length of the valley, and is braved by some coming to bathe in the (clothing optional) hot springs.
		A fascinating feature is the Saline Salt Tram, a cable tramway constructed in 1911 to transport the extremely pure salt found in the lakebed across the Inyo mountains and down to the railroad in Owens valley.

	Sutton Salt Lake: Geology Department, University of Otago, New Zealand
		Sediments on the lake floor are derived by rain and wind erosion of the surrounding quartzofeldspathic schist bedrock, with a contribution from organic sources, particularly ostracods, and evaporative halite.
		Lake water is entirely derived from rain, rather than groundwater, and the lake waters have had minimal chemical interaction with bedrock.
		Lake water pH is near 9 and pH of pore waters in drying lake sediments is near 8, compared to pH near 7 for regional surface and ground waters.

	Saline Systems \| Full text \| A physico-chemical survey of inland lakes and saline ponds: Christmas Island (Kiritimati) ...
		Salinity in shallow hypersaline lacustrine environments is extremely sensitive to climatic changes that influence salt concentrations via changes in the evaporation minus precipitation balance, and the hydrologic variability of Kiritimati and Teraina lakes has been attributed to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) [1].
		Vegetation surrounding lakes consists of the mangrove Rhizophora mucronata, the parasitic climber Cassytha filiformis, the grass Lepturus repens, and the ironwood Pemphis acidula.
		Lakes 174 and 177, once the same basin, were separated by a man-made two-meter berm, and a channel had been constructed to connect lake 177 to the lagoon via lake 176.

		Bathymetry of the lake, determined during sampling, indicates that the depth of the lake in the southern part is shallower, deepening toward the north (figure 7).
		No preferential elevated zone was observed in the lake due to rapid circulation, accelerated by huge amounts of water that flow from all the sides to the lake during the spring (figures 9.3 and 10.3).
		The elevated calcium level in the south part of the lake is attributed to the two largest, calcium-rich rivers (Zarineh roud and Simineh roud) flowing into the lake from the south, compared to the small, lower-calcium rivers feeding the lake from the north and from the west.

	Hot Lake Research Natural Area
		The saline lake is on the west side Kruger Mountain, on a ridge between the Similkameen River to the southwest and Osoyoos Lake of the Okanogan River valley to the east.
		The lake was designated as a RNA because of its meromictic quality: the normal cycle of lake water turning over does not occur, it does not freeze in the winter and chemical reactions in the water raise the temperature higher than if it were warmed by the sun alone.
		In the lake, there are two species of brine shrimp, the fairy brine shrimp (Branchinecta campestris) and brine shrimp (Artemia salina), a bottom mat of bluegreen algae (Chara) and a dense population of green sulfur bacteria.

	Lake Bogoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flamingos nesting on the shoreline of Lake Bogoria in Kenya, Africa.
		Lake Bogoria is a saline, alkaline lake that lies in a volcanic region in a half-graben basin south of Lake Baringo, Kenya, a little north of the equator.
		Lake Bogoria, like Lake Nakuru, Lake Elmenteita, and Lake Magadi further south in the Rift Valley, and Lake Logipi to the north, is home at times to one of the world's largest populations of lesser flamingoes.

	Lake Union Overview and Detailed Graphs, King County, Washington
		In 1914, the hydrology of the lake was significantly altered by the construction of the Fremont and Montlake cuts and the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks.
		The saline bottom water becomes devoid of oxygen early in the summer as the oxygen is used by bacteria consuming the organic sediment.
		Lake Union is unique among the three local major lakes in the character of its watershed.

		The Great Salt Lake is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River.
		The first scientific measurements were taken in 1849 and since then the lake level has varied by 20 feet, shifting the shoreline in some places as much as 15 miles.
		Great Salt Lake is the remnant of Lake Bonneville; a great ice age lake that rose dramatically from a small saline lake 30,000 years ago.

	Monomixis and Meromixis at Mono Lake
		The mixing regime of a lake is referred to as either dimixis (mixing twice a year, in spring and autumn), monomixis (mixing once a year, from November through February), or meromixis (not mixing).
		The lake surface west of Paoha Island froze in the winter of 1982-83, an unusual occurrence for a saline lake.
		Meromixis is less likely at higher lake levels because the volume of freshwater inflow is a smaller percentage of the volume of the lake, thus having less of an impact on the change in salinity and depth of stratification.

	Saline Lakes
		Most saline lakes are also defined by endorheic drainage basins, so that most slat lakes represent the termini of inland drainage basins in which there is a balance between inputs and outputs.
		Salt lakes may contain water permanently, intermittently or episodically; water levels may be constant or fluctuate widely on a seasonal or secular basis, often in accord with salinity fluctuations; and they range from deep to shallow, small to extremely large, round to dendritic in shape.
		Salt lakes are widespread, occur on all continents, and are often present not far from centres of population.

		This saline lake is one of the oldest continually existing lakes on the continent, most likely at least one million years old.
		Surrounding the lake are strange white towers known as tufa that are actually carbonate deposits left by freshwater springs that once bubbled under Mono's waters.
		Since that time the lake has been dropping due to unreplenished evaporation, at the rate of one foot per year and since 1970 at two feet per year.

	LAKE NAKURU
		The biota in the lake is very simple as in other saline lakes, consisting of phytoplankters dominated by blue-green algae and very poor planktonic and benthic fauna originally lacking fish.
		However, the lake is highly eutrophic owing to the vigorous growth of a planktonic blue-green alga, Spirulina platensis, which supports an immense number of alga.grazing lesser flamingo and an increasing population of the introduced fish, Sarotherodon alcalicum grahami, though, in the last several years since 1974, the planktonic productivity and the flamingo population decreased abruptly.
		The city of Nakuru on the northernmost shore of the lake is a rapidly growing local centre of industry and agriculture.

	Case Abstract
		Saline lakes are found in dry climate zones of every continent, and cover almost as much of the earth’s surface as do freshwater lakes.
		The majority of permanent saline lakes are found in semi-arid and subhumid climate zones where evaporation is lower.
		To be considered a true saline lake, a lake must contain a concentration of dissolved minerals greater than 3% by weight.
