中文摘要：

盐湖是一种矿产、生物和旅游综合性资源。我国盐湖多，而且盛产钾、锂、硼、铯、铷、溴等稀有金属和非金属，还赋存大量盐生物资源。盐湖的开发必须十分重视环境保护，实行综合利用和整体开发，加强先进提取、加工技术的研发；盐湖是一种特殊的“活”资源，需要进行不同水季的调查、并有重点地建立盐湖长期观察站；为防患突发的旱涝灾害，应选择重点盐湖区建立湖区水利设施和改善生态环境。

英文摘要：

Salt lakes is a comprehensive resources for mineral, biological and tourist. China is a country with many salt lakes, in which there are rich halobiotic resources, nonmetals and rare met- als such as potassium, lithium, boron, cesium, rubidium and bromine. In the development of salt lakes it is necessary to pay great attention to environmental protection, to make full use and carry out comprehensive utilization, and strengthen research and development of advanced extraction and processing techniques. Salt lakes are a special ＂living＂ resources, and with regard to this resource we should investigate it in different water seasons and establish key long-term salt lake observation stations. In order to prevent suddenly occurring damage caused by drought and water logging, we should select key salt lake areas to establish water conservancy facilities and improve the ecological environment there.
