Lake Tuz (Turkish: Tuz Gölü, meaning "Salt Lake") is the second largest lake in Turkey, covering an impressive 1,665 km² (643 sq mi), and is one of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world. Situated in the Central Anatolia Region, it lies 105 km (65 mi) northeast of Konya, 150 km (93 mi) south-southeast of Ankara, and 57 km (35 mi) northwest of Aksaray. In recent years, Lake Tuz has become a growing hotspot for tourists, drawing visitors with its stunning pink hue and vast salt flats, offering a unique and picturesque photo opportunity. However, there are a few things to keep in mind: the vibrant pink color is most striking in spring and early summer, with later visits revealing a more subdued landscape. The lake's remote location requires a journey off the beaten path, and the limited amenities nearby mean you'll need to bring essentials like water and snacks. The terrain on the salt flats can be uneven, making walking a bit challenging. Overall, Lake Tuz is a breathtaking natural wonder, especially during its prime seasons, though it remains a less developed tourist destination, so managing...

Tuz Gölü, Türkiye'nin İç Anadolu Bölgesi'nde Ankara, Konya ve Aksaray illerinin sınırının kesiştiği yerde yer alan tuz gölüdür. Türkiye'nin tuz ihtiyacının %40'ı bu gölden sağlanır. Tuz Gölü'nde tuz, meteorolojik suların yer altına süzülerek daha önce oluşmuş tuz domlarını eritmesi ve tektonik hatlar boyunca yüzeye taşımasıyla oluşmaktadır.

Türkiye'nin yüzölçümü bakımından ikinci büyük gölü olan Tuz Gölü, çevresindeki platolar arasına gömülmüş bulunan geniş bir tektonik çukurluğun en derin yerindedir. Bu çukurluk Neojen'de tektonik hareketlerle oluşmuştur. Tuz Gölü'nün içinde bulunduğu çukurluk doğu, batı ve güneyden faylarla çevrilidir. Kuvaterner'de, daha az yağışlı iklim koşullarında gölün yüz ölçümü küçülmüştür. Zamanla daha da küçülen göl, günümüzdeki durumuna kavuşmuştur.

Yağış alanı 11.900 km² olan Tuz Gölü, dışarıya akıntısı olmayan kapalı havza gölüdür. Yağış alanının genişliğine rağmen beslenme kaynakları zayıftır. Bölge yılda ortalama 324 mm/m² yağış ile Türkiye'nin en az yağış düşen alanlarındandır. Göle su getiren akarsular, yazın suları iyice azalan ya da tamamen kuruyan derelerdir. Bunlar Şereflikoçhisar'dan gelen Peçenek Çayı, Aksaray'dan gelen Melendiz Çayı, güneyden ve batıdan gelen İnsuyu, Karasu, Kırkdelik çaylarıdır. Bunlardan başka Beyşehir Gölünün fazla sularını Konya'nın atık sularıyla beraber Tuz Gölü'ne boşaltan DSİ tahliye kanalı da Tuz Gölü'nün su seviyesinin yükselmesine sebep olmaktadır. Gölün ortalama su seviyesi 40 cm civarında, yağışın arttığı mayıs ayında ise yaklaşık 110 cm'dir. Ağustos ayında göl büyük ölçüde kurur. Tuz oranının fazla oluşu, buharlaşma sonucunda göl sahasının büyük kısmında her yıl yenilenen 10–30 cm.lik tuz tortulaşmasına neden olmaktadır. Yaz sonlarına doğru Kaldırım Tuzlası ile karşı kıyı arasında yürümek mümkündür. Bu mevsimde tuzluluk oranı binde 329 gibi dikkat çekici bir orana erişmektedir. Kimyasal bileşim itibarıyla burada mutfak tuzu (sodyum klorür) karakterinde bir tuzluluk hakimdir ve sodyum klorür oranı, magnezyum klorür ve sodyum sülfat oranlarından yüksektir.

Göldeki tuz birikmesi çeşitli faktörlere bağlı bulunmaktadır. Çevrede jips ve tuz tabakaları içeren Oligosen formasyonunun bulunuşu gölün tuzlaşmasında önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Fakat gölün tabanındaki kaynaklardan da tuzlu sular geldiği tespit edilmiştir. Gölün sığ oluşu ve buharlaşmanın şiddetli oluşu tuz birikmesinin diğer faktörleridir. Yazın buharlaşma sonucu tortulanan tuz tabakası makinalarla kazılıp tuzlalarda toplanır. Kaldırım, Kayacık ve Yavşan tuzlaları adı verilen bu tuzlalar önceleri Tekel tarafından işletilirken 2005 yılında özelleştirilmiştir. 2011 yılında ise 10 tuzla sahası da ihale ile satışa sunulmuş, bunların 8 i alıcı bulmuştur.Tuz Gölü'nden elde edilen tuzu yıkayıp öğüten tuz fabrikaları Şereflikoçhisar ekonomisinin belkemiğini oluşturmaktadır. Tuz Gölü ve çevresi 2001 yılında özel koruma alanı ilan edilmiştir. Tuz Gölü ve çevresi Phoenicopterus rubber olarak adlandırılan flamingo kolonilerinin ana üreme bölgeleridir. "Anser albifrons" adı verilen Sakarca kazının da ikinci büyük...

The lake, occupying a tectonic depression in the central plateau of Turkey, is fed by two major streams, groundwater, and surface water, but has no outlet. Brackish marshes have formed where channels and streams enter the lake. Arable fields surround the lake, except in the south and southwest where extensive seasonally flooded salt-steppe occurs.

For most of the year, it is very shallow (approx.0.4 m (1 ft)). During winter part of the salt is dissolved in the fresh water that is introduced to the lake by precipitation and surface runoff (to 324‰ salinity). During the summer the lake dries up exposing an average of 30 cm thick salt layer in August. This mechanism is used as a basis for the process of the salt mines in the lake. The three mines operating in the lake produce 63% of the salt consumed in Turkey. The salt mining generates industrial activity in the region, mainly related to salt processing...
