Do tsunamis affect water supplies?
Yes. Tsunamis can contaminate water for drinking and agriculture with seawater and with pollutants that get swept up in them.
Is seawater hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic to drinking water?
Seawater is hypertonic to drinking water. This means that seawater has a higher concentration of solutes (such as salts) compared to drinking water. Drinking seawater can lead to dehydration as the body would need to excrete more water to get rid of the excess salts.

Can you take sea water and drink it?
On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram, or every litre, of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts.Accidentally consuming small quantities of clean seawater is not harmful, especially if the seawater is consumed along with a larger quantity of fresh water. However, drinking seawater to maintain hydration is counterproductive; more water must be excreted to eliminate the salt (via urine) than the amount of water that is gained from drinking the seawater itself. The effect of seawater intake has also been studied in laboratory settings in rats.This study confirmed the negative effects of drinking seawater when dehydrated.
What do sea birds use for drinking water?

Why can most land vertebrates not drink seawater?
Most land vertebrates cannot drink seawater because their bodies are not adapted to process the high levels of salt found in seawater. Drinking seawater can lead to dehydration and damage to their internal organs.
Difference between seawater and fresh water?
Seawater has a higher salinity level due to dissolved salts, whereas fresh water has a very low salinity level. Seawater is found in oceans and contains various minerals, while fresh water is found in rivers, lakes, and underground reservoirs. Seawater is not suitable for drinking or agriculture without desalination, while fresh water is typically safe for consumption and irrigation needs.
