Saltwater intrusion is the movement of ocean water into fresh groundwater that causes contamination of the freshwater by salt. This is a process of nature and usually occurs near the Coastlines where the fresh groundwater level approaches the same level as the sea.
I'm assuming you're talking about osmosis. If osmosis didn't occur, then the saltwater salmon couldn't adapt to freshwater and would suffer from a lack of water and too much salt in the cells, and the freshwater salmon would have too much water and not enough salt in it's cells. The saltwater salmon would shrivel up in freshwater, and the freshwater salmon would burst in saltwater.
Rain water is fresh water and does not have salt. Saltwater is not fresh and does have salt.

Saltwater Intrusion
They can. One of the most common types of aquifer pollution is caused by saltwater intrusion as freshwater is extracted.
Saltwater kills most plants.
Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion happened on 1987-11-22.
Water may taste salty suddenly due to high levels of dissolved minerals, such as sodium or chloride, in the water source. This can happen if there is contamination from saltwater intrusion, nearby salt mines, or natural geological formations.
Salt water intrusion occurs when saltwater from the ocean infiltrates freshwater aquifers due to factors such as over-pumping of freshwater, sea level rise, and climate change. This intrusion can contaminate drinking water sources and impact agricultural land by increasing soil salinity. Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to salt water intrusion.
Overuse of aquifers can lead to land subsidence, where the ground sinks due to the lack of water support. It can also cause saltwater intrusion, where saltwater infiltrates freshwater sources, making them unusable for agriculture. Additionally, overuse can lead to depletion of groundwater resources, impacting ecosystems and local communities that depend on these water sources.
Groundwater can be either saltwater or freshwater, depending on the location. In coastal areas, groundwater can be saltwater due to seawater intrusion. Inland areas typically have freshwater groundwater sources.
nothing will happen it will be like clean water
saltwater intrusion impairs drinking water
This process is called "saltwater intrusion." It occurs when saltwater moves into and contaminates freshwater sources, typically in coastal areas where there is excessive water extraction from wells or a decrease in freshwater flow.
Nothing will immediately happen, but the plant will eventually die
