Abstract

Disposal of salt water presents a potentially serious environmental pollution problem. Solar evaporating ponds provide a temporary solution but the residue salts remain as a potential polluter. Flooding of slush pits and evaporation ponds is another potential source of brine contamination of fresh water supplies.
