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 ...
Lake Van (Turkish: Van Gölü; Armenian: Վանա լիճ, romanized: Vana lič̣; Kurdish: Gola Wanê [3]) is the largest lake in Turkey. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] It lies in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey in the provinces of Van and Bitlis , in the Armenian highlands .
The Caspian Sea is the world's largest lake and contains brackish water with a salinity about one-third that of normal seawater. The Caspian is famous for its peculiar animal fauna, including one of the few non-marine seals (the Caspian seal ) and the great sturgeons , a major source of caviar .

A river or lake water with a salinity of around 70 mg/L will typically have a specific conductivity at 25 °C of between 80 and 130 μS/cm. The actual ratio depends on the ions present. [ 14 ] The actual conductivity usually changes by about 2% per degree Celsius, so the measured conductivity at 5 °C might only be in the range of 50–80 μS/cm.
Some water from the lakes reaches Lake Erie and some flows to the Ohio River. [ 2 ] There is an unincorporated community named Portage Lakes in Summit County , near 41°00′26″N 081°31′37″W / 41.00722°N 81.52694°W / 41.00722; -81.52694 Elevation: 1,053 feet (321 m), [ 3 ] in the
