Some lakes lack outlets in the form of rivers which would drain away

Some of the salts contained din away

Some lakes do not have enough fresh water rivers emptying into them

Some lakes are located in areas that experience high rate of evaporation hence increased concentration and accumulation of salts

Surface run-off and rivers drain into some lakes having dissolved some mineral salts

The rocks over which the lakes water is in contact which may contain a lot of mineral salts.
