it is becoming possible to routinely measure evaporation and soil moisture, based on surface and satellite-mounted observation. We can therefore move away from merely closing a water budget ...

Nine dead birds and two dead bats were found at the site of the solar thermal project in October, with the birds ...

Evaporation via a combination of the sun's warmth and wind increases the salt content in the ponds from about 2.9% to 3.5%, which is still liveable for plankton, algae and small ocean critters.

The funding will be used to help cover the costs of plant, equipment and construction works to develop a fourth evaporation pond that will produce an additional 1,000 kg of salt a year.
