Turkey is among the rich countries in terms of salt potential. This potential is consisted of sea saltpan, lake saltpan, rock saltpan and spring saltpan. These spring saltpans are formed when the underground waters melts the salts and incorporates it while passing by rock salt sources. Spring saltpan’s average in Turkey’s salt productions is around the 1%. Although their production quantity is very low, spring saltpans are important in terms of meeting the needs of region where they are located. In addition, there are lots of spring saltpans. Quantity of produced salt is based on flow of the source, feding ratio, rainfall conditions and quantity, temperature of the region, vaporization ratio, wind speed, pressure and proper topographical conditions. In this study, it was aimed to explain the characteristics of the sources and salts by evaluating the salty-brackish water springs in the Upper Basin of the Karasu River (Western Euphrates) along with the geographical conditions affecting the formation of the spring and the production of salt. In this context, the main points of the research area about geology, geomorphology and climatic characteristics of salty-brackish water spring formation and salt production have been evaluated and related to the geographical factors affecting distribution and salt production of salty-brackish water spring in the field. The region which is the subject of our study, consists the area located among the Kargapazarı Mountains where the Karasu River Basin’s starting points and enterance to Sansa Strait are located. In this basin part of the river, there are a lot of salt springs and brackish water sources. The existence of salt springs are directly connected to geologic structure. Saltpans are located in areas which has Lower Miocene marine or lacustrine facies. The existence of spring saltpans are directly connected with rock saltpans within this formation.
