saltworks04 / SALT FROM SPRINGS & WELLS
Spring & inland-brine salt.
Our category for salt from naturally salty inland spring or well water. [1]
Salt carried by water
At Añana, the operator describes rainwater passing through buried salt layers and reappearing as salty springs. That natural brine is the starting material for the saltworks. [1]
An inland harvest
Añana reports spreading its brine across shallow platforms exposed to sun and wind, then gathering the crystals. We distinguish natural spring or well brine from lake brine and from deliberate solution mining. [2] [3]
