Salt water lakes ,like the Dead Sea, has no outlet. Solar evaporation from the water's surface far outstrips the amount of water flowing into it. The salinity increases until the water is saturated whereupon salt crystals precipitate out.

Irrigation of farmland causes the same , but less drastic,problem.
