The process of evaporation is so great that without precipitation runoff, and groundwater discharge from aquifers, oceans would become nearly empty. People make use of evaporation Seawater evaporation ponds on the Isle of Rhé off the coast of France are used to obtain salt. read more

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. read more

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. read more
