Hi,
I haven't found much about the
subject. A salt flat is a large deposit of salt. They are
usually where a river ends in the middle of a desert. Or where
a valley is completely surrounded by mountains, leaving no way
out for any water. So salt starts accumulating as salty waters
evaporate. Some of them rarely see any water, others are
inundated every year or might be under water a lot of the
time. Because they tend to be dry most of the time, and plants
tend to dislike pure salt, they tend to look like a desert.
How should one tag such a thing?
I've seen three very different ideas:
You might find some inspiration by searching for "marais
salant", which is French for similar areas, but fitted for
salt production. The discussions will take you further to tags as
salt_pond, natural=wetland and the like.
As salt is cheap, this is just 2 ¢. €¢.
