| On the other hand all closed lakes of the kind now being considered must lie in endorheic regions. |
| This region is formed by three endorheic basins: Mapimi, Nazas-Aguanaval and El Salado whose drainage system does not reach the sea. |
| Tibetan lakes in the endorheic basins are dynamic and sensitive to climate change. |
| They occupy depressions, often endorheic, which are flooded for a sufficiently long period to allow the development of hydromorphic soils and wetland-dependent aquatic or amphibious vegetation and fauna communities. |
| In endorheic bodies of standing water where evaporation is the primary means of water loss, the water is typically more saline than the oceans. |
| The catchment-derived water-supply, in evaporating, leaves salts and the basin becomes an endorheic salt lake. |
