In certain parts of the world, where the climate is very dry, we find examples of large salt lakes out of which no water ever flows towards the ocean. These lakes are fed by the rains and streams of the surrounding regions, but the evaporation from the surface is so great that it dries up the water as fast as it comes in, so that the lake remains stationary—the influx of water and the amount evaporated just balancing one another.
