ABSTRACT
The most common form of solar pond is a salt-water solar pond. Salt water ponds exist naturally in a variety of locations, the first ponds being discovered in Eastern Europe at the beginning of the 20th century at a natural salt lake in Transylvania then part of Romania. Most of the salt water ponds operated today, however, are artificial, simulating natural solar ponds but taking advantage of engineering technologies to advance their operation and application for practical purposes.
