Saltwater lake - Ensuiko

Japanese: 塩水湖 - えんすいこ
Saltwater lake - Ensuiko
Also called a salt lake or a brackish lake. A lake with a salt content of 0.5g or more per liter. There are several volcanic salt lakes in Japan, such as Zao Okama, but there are many inland salt lakes overseas where the salt has been highly concentrated through evaporation. The Dead Sea has about 250g per liter, which is seven times the salt content of seawater (about 35g). A lake that contains salt due to the influence of seawater is called a brackish lake.

鹹(かん)(水)湖,塩湖とも。湖水の塩分が1l中0.5g以上の湖。日本には蔵王御釜などのような火山性塩水湖が幾つかあるが,外国の内陸塩水湖では蒸発によって塩分が著しく濃縮された例が少なくなく,死海では1l中に約250gで海水の塩分(約35g)の7倍に達する。海水の影響で塩分を含む湖は汽水湖と呼ぶ。
