The 40 pages that link to Endorheic basin, each with the reason it gives.

• Caspian SeaNarrower topic: The Caspian’s closed drainage basin explains its isolation and sensitivity to water-balance changes.

• Iranian PlateauNarrower topic: Many plateau basins have no route to the sea, concentrating salts inland.

• Drainage basinBroader topic: It is a basin whose shared outlet lies inland rather than at the coast.

• Tarim BasinNarrower topic: The Tarim’s rivers terminate within the landlocked basin.

• Continental DivideCompared with: Some divides separate ocean-draining waters from streams that terminate inland.

• AltiplanoNarrower topic: Much of the plateau drains into internal lakes, wetlands, and salt flats.

• Great Salt LakeNarrower topic: The lake has no outlet to the sea, so dissolved salts accumulate as water evaporates.

• Great BasinNarrower topic: This drainage pattern defines the Great Basin’s hydrologic boundary.

• Catchment areaCompared with: It shows that a catchment outlet need not connect to the sea.

• Lake Chad BasinNarrower topic: Lake Chad has no outlet to the ocean, so its basin is endorheic.

• Lake TiticacaRelated: Most water leaving Titicaca evaporates or infiltrates rather than reaching the sea.

• Mexican PlateauNarrower topic: Several plateau basins collect water internally rather than draining directly to the sea.

• Salar de AtacamaNarrower topic: Water and dissolved minerals entering the Atacama basin remain trapped, allowing salts to accumulate.

• Lake TurkanaNarrower topic: The lake has no outlet, so dissolved salts accumulate as water evaporates.

• Lake UrmiaNarrower topic: Lake Urmia’s closed basin concentrates dissolved salts as water evaporates.

• QinghaiRelated: Some Qinghai watersheds terminate in inland lakes rather than flowing to the sea.

• Cooper CreekRelated: Water carried by Cooper Creek drains toward Lake Eyre, not the sea.

• Death ValleyNarrower topic: Water and dissolved salts collect in Death Valley rather than draining seaward.

• Great Basin DesertRelated: The Great Basin’s closed drainage is central to its geography.

• SistanNarrower topic: Sistan’s rivers end inland, making water levels sensitive to inflow and evaporation.

• Etosha PanRelated: Water entering the pan has no outlet to the ocean.

• Junggar BasinNarrower topic: Much of the Junggar Basin drains inward rather than to the sea.

• Lake VanRelated: With no outlet, Lake Van retains dissolved salts delivered by inflowing water.

• Sistan BasinNarrower topic: The Sistan Basin’s lack of an ocean outlet governs where its water accumulates.

• Issyk-KulNarrower topic: Issyk-Kul’s basin traps incoming water, leaving evaporation as its main natural loss.

• Qinghai LakeNarrower topic: Qinghai Lake retains river inflow rather than draining onward to the ocean.

• Tarim RiverNarrower topic: The Tarim’s water is consumed, evaporated, or stored within the basin.

• Death Valley National ParkRelated: Water and dissolved minerals accumulate in the valley rather than flowing to the sea.

• Okavango RiverNarrower topic: The river ends in an inland basin, where evaporation and infiltration consume most flow.

• Salt flatNarrower topic: Many salt flats occupy endorheic basins where dissolved minerals accumulate without an outlet.

• Turpan DepressionNarrower topic: Water in the Turpan Depression drains internally or evaporates.

• Chott el DjeridNarrower topic: The lake has no outlet to the sea, so incoming water and dissolved salts remain within its basin.

• Lake BalkhashNarrower topic: Evaporation, rather than an outlet to the sea, removes much of the lake’s water.

• Lake MackayNarrower topic: Lake Mackay lies in an inland basin without a river outlet to the ocean.

• NamtsoNarrower topic: Namtso occupies an inland basin where water leaves mainly through evaporation.

• Continental Divide of the AmericasNarrower topic: Closed basins along the divide reveal exceptions to the usual ocean-bound drainage pattern.

• Dry lakeNarrower topic: Many dry lakes occupy closed basins where inflow has nowhere to drain.

• Great Salt DesertRelated: Inland drainage concentrates water and dissolved salts in the desert’s closed basins.

• Turan DepressionNarrower topic: The depression’s rivers terminate in inland lakes, wetlands, and desert sinks.

• Western PlateauRelated: Interior basins trap runoff, contributing to salt lakes and inland drainage.
