The top layer is near ambient temperature and has a low salt content. The bottom layer is hot - typically 160-212°F (71-100°C) - and is very salty. The important gradient zone separates these zones. The gradient zone acts as a transparent insulator, permitting sunlight to be trapped in the hot bottom layer (from which useful heat is withdrawn). 1, record 3, English, - salt%20gradient%20solar%20pond

Ohio’s program creates measurable standards by assigning every water body at least one beneficial use. Beneficial use designations describe existing or potential uses of water bodies. They take into consideration the use and value of public water supplies, protection and propagation of aquatic life, recreation in and on the water, and agricultural, industrial and other purposes. ... Aquatic Life Habitat Use Designation. Warmwater Habitat (WWH) Capable of supporting and maintaining a balanced community of warmwater aquatic organisms. This is the most widely applied use designation assigned to warmwater rivers and streams in Ohio. 3, record 5, English, - aquatic%20organism

Solar salt pond generating project. A body of water that collects solar energy and stores it as thermal energy. The introduction of salt into a pond allows the density of the pond water to be controlled. A salinity gradient within the pond allows thermal storage in the dense high-salinity water near the pond bottom. The stored thermal energy is used to drive a Rankine-cycle heat engine. 4, record 8, English, - salt%2Dgradient%20solar%20pond

Salt-gradient solar ponds operate with three distinct zones of increasing salinity from the surface to the bottom. The bottom, or storage zone, is a convective layer of near-saturated brine. The intermediate or gradient zone is a non-convective insulating layer of decreasing salinity towards the surface zone. The surface zone is a thin convective layer of fresh or slightly saline water. 1, record 8, English, - salt%2Dgradient%20solar%20pond
