What is the role of salts in a solar pond?

OR

Give reason: Salts are dissolved in the bottom of a solar pond.

The loss of heat from the pond is prevented by dissolving salts in the bottom of the pond.

Dissolving salts makes the water denser and hence cannot rise to the surface. Thus solar

energy remains trapped in the pond.
