Salt export will greatly exceed salt import, so that with the same drainage fraction a rapid desalinization occurs. After one or two years, the soil salinity is decreased so much, that the salinity of the drainage water has come down to a normal value and a new, favorable, equilibrium is reached.
Annual mean sea surface salinity for the World Ocean. Data from the World Ocean Atlas 2009. [1] International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO) standard seawater. Salinity (/ s ə ˈ l ɪ n ɪ t i /) is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water (see also soil salinity). It is ...
The southern shoreline of the Persian Gulf is a shallow, low-angle carbonate ramp characterised by an evaporitic supratidal system passing offshore, via a broad carbonate–evaporite intertidal environment, into a carbonate-dominated subtidal system. This is a low-energy setting with a small tidal range (1–2 m) and low wave energy as a result ...
The Salt Range (Punjabi: سلسلہ کوہ نمک) is a mountain range in the north of Punjab [1] province of Pakistan, deriving its name from its extensive deposits of rock salt. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The range extends along the south of the Potohar Plateau and the north of the Jhelum River .
Salt spalling is a specific type of weathering which occurs in porous building materials, such as brick, natural stone, tiles and concrete. Dissolved salt is carried through the material in water and crystallizes inside the material near the surface as the water evaporates.
Khewra (Punjabi / Urdu: کھیوڑہ) is the second most populated city of Jhelum District and the neighbor city of Pind Dadan Khan in Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan. [1] The city is administratively subdivided into two union councils [1] and is the location of the Khewra Salt Mine. The population of Khewra city is about 35,000 (or 80,000).
The Khewra Salt Mine (Urdu: کھیوڑہ نمک کان), also known as Mayo Salt Mine, is the world's second largest salt mine, located in Khewra, Punjab, Pakistan. [1] The mine is in the Salt Range of the Potohar plateau , which rises from the Indus plain of the Punjab.
The Great Rann of Kutch (or Rann of Kutch seasonal salt marsh) is a salt marsh in the Thar Desert in the Kutch District of Gujarat, India. It is about 7500 km 2 (2900 sq miles) in area and is reputed to be one of the largest salt deserts in the world. [2] This area has been inhabited by the Kutchi people. [3]
