Description	Ocean waves that invade the land are contained by retaining walls made of clay, like lagoons. The water is left there for weeks or even months until it becomes more bitter. It is then transferred to a tarpaulin, where it is exposed to the sun so that the water evaporates, leaving only the salt.
