Turkish Salt Lake Tuz Golu

Turkey produces most of the salts with one of the most protected lakes named Ace. In Turkish it sounds like Tuz Gölü. Ace is one of the largest lakes present on the territory of Turkey. However, in the summer, when the sun's light reaches an elevated temperature, more than eighty percent of the lake dries up and appears thirty-centimeter layer of salt. Save help balance precipitation and groundwater sources. In winter, a layer of salt out of the large amount of fresh water that comes from the nearby surface water and groundwater. Locals diligently engaged in industries related to the processing of salt and its implementation on the numerous Turkish markets. Incidentally, Turkey every year pumps out here one hundred and fifty tons of salt, which is the chemical composition is very similar to a cookery.

Lake Tuz simply unique in its nature. On the southern shore of the lake grows a huge amount of cane. Lake Tuz received the status of a specially protected area, after an increase in the population of flamingos nearby islands. In addition, scientists have found that most of the water goes to filling the tectonic depressions. In the evaporation of more than 90 percent water, Lake Tuz turns white desert resembling a snowy meadow consisting of brightest salt crystals. According to the construction of the University of Geodesy and Aksaray, lakes deteriorated to eighty-five percent in the last hundred years, and under the present conditions, the Ace is endangered. If you can not do anything for the Turkish Government to improve the conditions, it is possible that future tourists will not be able to see this beauty. So you should take the opportunity to go on a trip to Anatolia province. flickr/Russell Scott
