    Other uses Salt Lake disambiguation Salt Lake A salt lake or saline lake is a landlocked body of water which has a concentration of salt s mostly sodium chloride and other dissolved minerals significantly higher than most lake s often defined as at least three gram s of salt per liter . In some cases, salt lakes have a higher concentration of salt than sea water, but such lakes would also be termed Hypersaline lake hypersaline lakes . A salt lake that has a high content of sodium salts, especially chlorides and sulfates, is sometimes termed a soda lake . Saline lake classification ref Hammer, U. T. Saline Lake Ecosystems of the World, Springer, 1986, p. 15 ISBN 978 9061935353 ref subsaline 0.5 3 per mil hyposaline 3 20 mesosaline 20 50 hypersaline greater than 50 Properties Salt lakes form when the water flowing into the lake, containing salt or minerals, cannot leave because the lake is Endorheic basin endorheic terminal . The water then evaporates, leaving behind any dissolved salts and thus increasing its salinity , making a salt lake an excellent place for salt production. High salinity will also lead to a unique flora and fauna in the lake in question sometimes, in fact, the result may be an absence or near absence of life near the salt lake. If the amount of water flowing into a lake is less than the amount evaporated, the lake will eventually disappear and leave a dry lake also called playa or salt flat .
