Salt flats - Le saline - नमक के खेत

Cagliari, Italy: The production of salt on the sea-coast was started in 1830 and it was stopped in 1985. I used to think that for making salt, they just needed to put water in one place and let it dry. However, it was explained to me that it was a complex process, where water was brought in canals, then depending upon its density, it had to be shifted to different fields during the process. After stopping the salt production, this area has become a protected natural park where birds such as the pink flamingos have made their home.

काल्यरी, इटलीः सागरतट के पास नमक का उत्पादन सन 1830 में प्रारम्भ हुआ था और इस काम को 1985 में बन्द किया गया. सोचता था कि नमक बनाने के लिए जल को एक जगह पर इक्टठा करके सुखा देते होगें, लेकिन मुझे बताया गया कि उसका भी अपना जटिल तरीका था, जल को नहरों में ले जाने का, उसके घनत्व के अनुसार उसे एक सुखाने वाले खेत से दूसरे खेतों में ले जाने का, इत्यादी. नमक उत्पादन बन्द होने के बाद यहाँ सुरक्षित प्राकृतिक जलपार्क बनाया गया है जहाँ गुलाबी फ्लेमिन्गो जैसे जलपक्षियों ने घर बनाये हैं.

Cagliari, Italia: La produzione di sale sulla costa era iniziata nel 1830 ed ha proseguito fino al 1985. Pensavo che fare il sale era facile, bastava lasciare l'acqua del mare ad asciugare. Invece mi hanno spiegato che bisognava portare l'acqua nei canali e poi secondo la sua densità bisognava spostarla da un campo all'altro durante il processo. Da quando le saline non servono più per produrre il sale, la zona è diventata un parco naturale protetto dove gli uccelli acquatici come i fenicotteri rosa hanno trovato una casa.
