| Location of Example: |
143°48'30" East, 35°39'16" South |
| Distinctive Characteristics: |
- Figure 2.3.3.7 is an example of a Salt Evaporator.
- Ground, Bore or Sea water is pumped into large ponds to enable the water to be evaporated by the sun leaving the salt behind.
- Salt Evaporators may be differentiated from Aquaculture by the varied sizes of smaller beds with irregular edges located within a larger grid pattern.
- Salt has a distinctive imagery signature in comparison to the surrounding environment.
|
| Regional Considerations: |
- Salt Evaporators will only be found in areas of low rainfall and high solar intensity.
- Salt Evaporators will be characteristically located on flat terrain.
