Best Answer

A bed of salt lake that contains water at irregular periods is called a playa. The water that covers a playa slowly filters into the ground into groundwater systems or evaporates into the air, causing a deposition of salt, sand, and mud along the bottom and edges of a flat-bottomed depression.
