has quality saline lake alkaline salt lake A saline lake which has a high pH. The pH of alkaline lakes is typically between 9 and 12. They are characterized by high concentrations of carbonate salts, typically sodium carbonate (and related salt complexes), giving rise to their alkalinity. In addition, many soda lakes also contain high concentrations of sodium chloride and other dissolved salts, making them saline or hypersaline lakes as well. High pH and salinity often coincide, because of how soda lakes develop. soda lake The formation processes of these lakes would be an interesting project to develop. alkaline
