Abstract Askale saltpan, one of the spring saltpans in our country, is located in Askale, Errurum. The saltpan which is thought to be functional for more than a century is about three kilometers west of Askale, in Karasu valley. Gypseous series scattered Oil the hills in the South of Karasu valley is the source ofthe salty water. The rate ofproduction changes between 119-194 tons in the saltpan which is traditionally operated. However, it is possible to increase the production to 1 000-1 500 tons when the maximumcapacity is attained. The summer rains, the decrease in the flow of the spring and the lack of refined salt production are the major problems to solve. With the introduction of the project to produce 5 000 tons of refined salt, the production will last for the whole year. If this is achieved, Askale saltpan will contribute more to the economic life ofthe region. Key Words: Salt, Spring Salt, Saltpan
