In 1926, the solar salt operation at San Mateo, on the south end of Francisco Bay, California, began recovering bromine from the bittern left over after salt precipitation. The plant went out of business in 1930, but another salt plant opened in 1931 at nearby Fremont, and extracted bromine until 1968. Another solar salt operation on San Diego Bay also started extracting bromine in 1926; the plant closed in 1945. The Ethyl Corporation, the principal consumer of bromine, developed a process to extract bromine from sea water without evaporation.

He set up Skellerup Solar Salt Ltd, which later became Dominion Salt when the government took over the company. At his death in 1955, he was succeeded by his eldest son Sir Valdemar Skellerup (1907–1982) who was chairman and joint managing director of Skellerup Industries for 26 years, and was knighted in 1980.

Three plants are in the vicinity of El Dorado, and all in Union County, Arkansas. In 2007, Chemtura had the capacity to produce 130,000 tonnes of bromine per year. Since 1969, all US bromine has been produced from subsurface brine. Previously, bromine was also recovered from sea water, either directly or from the bittern produced during solar salt operations.

The first city seal included a man or god of antiquity, possibly Neptune, reclining in front of a locomotive, three small buildings, and a salt barn. The locomotive and the buildings protrude steam in the depiction. By 1860 the seal had been modified to include more smoke stacks, solar salt vats, and hills. The ancient man or god disappeared by 1877, and the depiction changes to a canal boat, steam train, horse, and boatman.

Exmouth Gulf is a rich marine environment. It is a nursery for humpback whales, dugong and turtles. The mangrove systems on the eastern margins are areas of high primary productivity feeding and restocking both the Gulf and the nearby Ningaloo Reef. A proposal for a system of solar salt evaporation ponds stretching more than along the gulf's south-western coast has given rise to heated debate on possible environmental impacts on the area.

Newark's economy is at the edge of Silicon Valley and shares its economic pattern. Cargill Salt, previously known as Leslie Salt, operates a large salt refinery in Newark which cleans solar salt produced in salt evaporation ponds in the San Francisco Bay. Wedgewood manufactured stoves in town from the 1910s until the 1940s. Peterbilt manufactured trucks in Newark from the early 1960s up to the mid-1980s. Adjacent to the Peterbilt truck facility, in 1956 Trailmobile moved its manufacturing and assembly plant from Berkeley to a new 208,000 sq. ft.

A small number of African slaves were put to work alongside Indians and convicts, cultivating dyewood and maize and harvesting solar salt around Blue Pan. Slave quarters, built entirely of stone and too short for a man to stand upright in, still stand in the area around Rincon and along the salt pans. Historically, Dutch was not widely spoken on the island outside of colonial administration; its use increased in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Dede pikiña ku su bisiña: Papiamentu- Nederlands en de onverwerkt verleden tijd.

Salt production – Utilizing the naturally low-lying geography and traditional Dutch dike design, much of Bonaire's southern half has been made into a giant system of ponds and pools which evaporate seawater to produce salt. Presently operated by Cargill, Bonaire's solar salt works produces 400,000 tons of industrial grade salt per year. After collection, the salt is then washed and stored in pyramid-shaped piles roughly 50 feet in height, each containing approximately 10,000 metric tons of 99.6 percent pure salt. The salt facility operates its own pier where ships are loaded with salt destined for North American, European and Western Pacific markets.

The high salinity of the reclaimed coastal marshland meant that the land would need to sit for three years after it was drained before it could be cultivated. The land reclamation techniques that were used closely resembled the enclosures near La Rochelle that helped make solar salt. As time progressed, the Acadian agriculture improved, and Acadians traded with the British colonies in New England to gain ironware, fine cloth, rum, and salt. During the French administration of Acadia, this trade was illegal, but it did not stop some English traders from establishing small stores in Port Royal.

That same year, several other salt producers were operating within the city limits including; G. A. Porter & Company, Haskin's Salt Mill and J. W. Barker & Company. In 1878, Geddes was the home of Western Coarse Salt Company, Turk's Island Coarse Salt Company, Geddes Coarse Salt Company, Union Coarse Salt Company, Cape Cod Coarse Salt Company, W. & D. Kirkpatrick of No. 7 Wieting Block, Draper & Porter, W. B. Boyd, Mrs. S. O. Ely and J. F. Paige. The Onondaga Coarse Salt Association were manufacturers of coarse or solar salt including; dairy, table, common, fine and fertilizing salts.

It was founded in 1974 as the first urban National Wildlife Refuge established in the United States, and it is dedicated to preserving and enhancing wildlife habitat, protecting migratory birds, protecting threatened and endangered species, and providing opportunities for wildlife-oriented recreation and nature study for the surrounding communities. As of 2004, the Refuge spanned of open bay, salt pond, salt marsh, mudflat, upland and vernal pool habitats located throughout south San Francisco Bay. About of salt ponds within the refuge are managed by Cargill Salt, which has perpetual salt-making rights. Cargill uses the salt ponds to concentrate brines as part of its solar salt operation which produces salt for food, agriculture, medical, and industrial uses throughout the Western United States.

Evaporation pans, furnaces, tank and men's quarters were built at the northern end of the lake. Mining provided employment and other economic benefits for many years; the town of Lochiel, on the west bank of the lake, is said to have "developed slowly with the industry, its survival in the 20th century being almost totally dependent on the salt harvesting". By 1910 there were at least three lease-holders scraping thousands of tons of salt from evaporation pans when the lake dried up – usually in December. In 1913, the Australian Salt Company was incorporated and held all the lake leases until 1971, when the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cheetham Salt Company Limited – now Cheetham Salt Limited, Australia's largest producer and refiner of solar salt. Efficiency of transportation was improved in 1926 after a 9 km (5.5 mi)Google Earth.

The works designed by Fahredin Nuri, including swamp draining and soil reclaiming, portable water supply and irrigation planning, water quality and hydrologic processes, drought characterization and prediction, flood prediction and flood forecasting, infrastructure responses to hydrologic processes, numerical modeling of hydrologic systems, modeling of watersheds and river basins, analysis of water resources systems, river network properties, soil moisture and dynamics, fishing economies or solar salt works are thought to be more than 120. After being in use for more than 45 years, the irrigation canal Peqin–Kavajë has been reconstructed and is still being used for irrigation. Future projects foresee its use on the field of hydroelectricity in the framework of the Banja Hydropower Plant, as his dream and vision was. The Irrigation Canal Vjosë-Levan-Fier was a Work of unique and extraordinary dimensions for the time it was designed, far in 1955. Numerous were the practical problems resolved like river’s hydrology, river network properties, topography and constructions.

The Group was able to thwart the building of dams on the Usumacinta River that would have flooded 500 square kilometers of the Lacandon forest and submerged important Mayan ruins. For five years Aridjis spearheaded the defense of San Ignacio Lagoon, the gray whale nursery in Baja California, successfully preventing Mitsubishi and the Mexican government from building the world's largest solar salt works at the lagoon. Thanks to Aridjis and the Group of 100 the government agreed to publish daily reports of air quality in Mexico City, leaded gasoline was phased out and lead content in pottery drastically reduced, construction of an airport extension which would have obliterated a bird and wildlife sanctuary in Lake Texcoco was halted, thousands of tons of powdered milk contaminated by fallout from Chernobyl were returned to Ireland before they could be distributed in Mexico and a program limiting the circulation of cars in Mexico City one day each week was put into practice by the city government.
