Community Property in California. California is a community property state whereby it is presumed that each spouse has an undivided one-half interest in any property acquired during the marriage while domiciled in California (California Family Code Â§ 760).
The Great Salt Lake is salty because it is endorheic...that is, it has no outlet to release water except for evaporation. As a result, mineral salts accumulate over time, resulting in either a very salty body of water (the Aral and Dead Seas and the Great Salt Lake) or extensive salt flats (Such as Bonneville in Utah).
So a few lakes are salty because rivers carried salts to the lakes, the water in the lakes evaporated and the salts were left behind. After years and years of river inflow and evaporation, the salt content of the lake water built up to the present levels. The same process made the seas salty.
