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 ...
Heavy rainfall at Uluru in Australia’s Northern Territory turned the iconic site’s cliffs into waterfalls on November 8.This footage, taken by Rocky Simachila shows water rushing down the ...

The salt lakes occupy relatively small areas in the desert areas. For example, a major salt lake is Lake Eyre, which spans areas of the Gibson and Tirari deserts and fills up completely and then dries up about once every 25 years. Seventeen headwaters have formed in the deserts as a result of the subsurface Great Artesian Basin, one of the ...
By 1957, Len Tuit had begun operating return trips from Alice Springs to Uluru (then Ayers Rock), and was using Curtin Springs as a wayside to store fuel and water required for the return trip. This was the beginning of tourism in central Australia .
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.
