I have read that there are ancient fields there that are now so salty that not even weeds will grow in them. Any ground-water you find is likely to have some minerals dissolved in it. In areas where the primary water source is rainfall, this isn't an issue. In areas where the primary water source started off as rainfall somewhere else, the water has picked up dissolved minerals along the way that are left behind when the water evaporates.
