In dealing with brine that has gone through a desalination process, there are several options for disposal
Secrets of Highly Successful Brine Ponds
The rate of evaporation is the key factor affecting efficiency in a brine pond.
How Do You Construct Brine Ponds? Part 2
All brine containment ponds must be constructed with an impermeable, chemically resistant liner
Questions about Brine Evaporative Ponds
Evaporation ponds are an ancient technology used around the world to produce salt for human usage
Alternatives to Brine Ponds?
There are, of course, many ways that brine is, or has been, handled in different times and in different parts of the world.
When is a Brine Pond the Best Choice?
The construction costs of brine ponds are high enough that they’re best employed for long term use
How Do Brine and Evaporation Ponds Work?
Brine ponds and, indeed, evaporation ponds in general, work on the premise that a volume of liquid exposed to sunlight and relatively dry air can be reduced
How to Manage Brine Waste with Ponds
Brine ponds tend to fall into one of the following general categories, each of which have unique design and maintenance needs.
When Should a Brine Pond be Covered?
Brine ponds used for storage have a different goal than those used for mining
What is the Best Brine Pond Liner?
Brine ponds are particularly challenging when it comes to containment
How Much Does a Brine Pond Cost?
It’s impossible to quote an average price for an “average” brine pond because so many factors must be considered.

The Question of Covers for Brine Ponds
When brine ponds are designed for short or long-term storage rather than evaporation or alternative processing, covers are often used to contain the water.
How Brine Ponds Differ from Other Evaporation Ponds
Evaporation ponds are used for non-brine wastewater too, so in some cases they do not need such stringent engineering and security as the brine pond.
Why Brine Ponds Are Better Than Other Processing Methods
Sizes, depths, volumes, and length of use vary, but all lined brine ponds share some common advantages over other processing methods available for brine treatment.
