Fresh water and marine or seawater are differentiated primarily by the amount of salt they contain (fresh water has almost no salt, sea water has about 3.5% salt by weight) and where you find them. To identify marine or sea water there is only one criteria, it is found in the oceans or salt seas. This differentiation is essential as the Black Sea is a freshwater sea. The fact that it is salty is shared with salt lakes and salty ground water. Likewise fresh water has little or no salt and is found in some but not all lakes and rivers and in underground water. Precipitation is generally fresh water as is meltwater from glaciers and the ice caps.Potability (can you drink it) is never a characteristic of sea water due to the salt, but fresh water is not always potable. It may contain metals, bacteria, odours, chemicals and similar materials.
