Electrical conductivity (EC) is widely used for monitoring the mixing of fresh water and saline
water, separating stream hydrographs, and geophysical mapping of contaminated …

Playa systems are driven by evaporation processes, yet the mechanisms by which
evaporation occurs through playa salt crusts are still poorly understood. In this study we …

With a numerical model, Duffy and Al-Hassan demonstrated that free convection of brine
could occur under the playa lake in a closed basin. Since then, continued effort has been …

This study reviews the available information for over 1200 Australian salt lakes including in
areas that have little or unreliable data. Publicly available groundwater hydrogeochemical …

The major groundwater resources of the Arabian Peninsula are stored in the large
sedimentary basins in its eastern part. Evaporation from continental salt pans (playas) is an …

Many of the mining operations in Western Australia are located in arid and semiarid regions
where there is a severe scarcity of freshwater. Most of the processing is carried out using …

The playa-lakes of the Monegros desert in north-east Spain are saline wetlands in an arid
environment, a rare phenomenon in Europe. These extremely valuable habitats are …

A large-scale groundwater system in central Australia discharges to a chain of playas.
Recharge in calcrete and fractured rock aquifers gives rise to relatively low-salinity HCO 3 Cl …
