Evaporative salt production relies on the removal of water from brine by solar or induced evaporation, leaving sodium chloride to crystallise. The rate of salt accumulation is governed by the evaporation flux, pond surface area, the amount of salt that precipitates per unit volume of water removed, and the efficiency of harvest. Accurate estimation supports pond design, harvest scheduling, and economic assessment.
