2. Saline water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_water

   Seawater has a salinity of roughly 35,000 ppm, equivalent to 35 grams of salt per one liter (or kilogram) of water. The saturation level is only nominally dependent on the temperature of the water. [1] At 20 °C (68 °F) one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3 percent by weight (% w/w). At 100 °C (212 ...

3. Salinity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity

   Salinity (/ s ə ˈ l ɪ n ɪ t i /) is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water (see also soil salinity). It is usually measured in g/L or g/kg (grams of salt per liter/kilogram of water; the latter is dimensionless and equal to ‰ ).

4. Freshwater salinization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_salinization

   High salinity levels in drinking water also has been found to be highly associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). [14] Freshwaters that are alkaline and salty can also mobilize and release a variety of chemicals that travel together throughout watersheds , contaminate human water sources, and can cause a variety of negative health effects ...

   The Houma Plant already was drawing water from Bayou Black for months because the Intracoastal had salt levels that were too high, but Nov. 10, Bayou Black's salt water content rose above safe levels.

6. List of bodies of water by salinity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bodies_of_water_by...

   This is a list of bodies of water by salinity that is limited to natural bodies of water that have a stable salinity above 0.05%, at or below which water is considered fresh. Water salinity often varies by location and season, particularly with hypersaline lakes in arid areas, so the salinity figures in the table below should be interpreted as ...

   Under the LCR, if tests show that the level of lead in drinking water is in the area of 15 ppb or higher, it is advisable—especially if there are young children in the home—to replace old pipes, to filter water, or to use bottled water. EPA estimates that more than 40 million U.S. residents use water "that can contain lead in excess of 15 ppb".

9. Water distribution on Earth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_distribution_on_Earth

   Most water in Earth's atmosphere and crust comes from saline seawater, while fresh water accounts for nearly 1% of the total. The vast bulk of the water on Earth is saline or salt water, with an average salinity of 35‰ (or 3.5%, roughly equivalent to 34 grams of salts in 1 kg of seawater), though this varies slightly according to the amount of runoff received from surrounding land.
