Didwana, Kuchaman, Sargol, and Khatu are names of saline lakes in India.
– These names refer to lakes located in Rajasthan, India.
– Didwana Lake, Kuchaman Lake, and Khatu Lake are well-known salt lakes in the state. They are playas or temporary lakes that become saline due to evaporation in the arid and semi-arid climate.
– These lakes are important sources of salt extraction.
– The options are distinct geographical features: Glaciers are found in high mountains (e.g., Himalayas). Mangrove areas are coastal ecosystems. Ramsar sites are designated wetlands of international importance (while some of these lakes could potentially be Ramsar sites, their primary identification is as saline lakes).
Rajasthan has several inland drainage basins with saline lakes due to its topography and climatic conditions. Other notable saline lakes in Rajasthan include Sambhar Lake (India’s largest inland salt lake), Lunkaransar, and Pachpadra.
