Unfortunately salt water and fresh water do, in fact, mix. You can easily perform an experiment yourself:
1) Take two glasses and fill them with tap water, or filtered water, or holy water if you'd like.
2) Add salt to one. The salt can be table salt you buy at the store, with or without iodine, sea salt, rock salt or any other type of actual sodium chloride you can buy.
3) Taste the water in both glasses. One is salty, the other isn't.
4) Add equal parts of water from both glasses to the a third glass.
5) Taste the water. It's salty, but less salty than the glass of salt water you made. That's because the two waters mixed and made a glass of water has 'saltiness' somewhere in between the fresh water and the salt waters you made.
Having said all that, well out at sea from the mouth of the Amazon, the surface water is still fresh, due to density stratification. The same effect is seen in the New Zealand Fiords, where wave action is slight.

How does fresh water become salt water?

How do you separate salt and marble chips?
First you mix both chalk and salt in water. From the solution that you get, you can filter the chalk out because it is non soluble in water. As for the salt, all there is to do is to just evaporate the water out.
Demonstrate how to would separate salt from a muddy water?
Muddy water and salt solution contains, quite obviously, water, salt and mud. Due to the fact that the salt molecule is polar, it dissolves in water. [Note: The higher the temperature of the water, the more salt can be dissolved in it]. So we essentially have salt dissolved in water and mud suspended (and/or floating/sinking) in a beaker. Stir up the solution to make the mud/water mix homogenous (also for complete separation). Pour the mix through a filter+funnel set up. Notice how the water flows straight through, but the mud is retained in the fileter paper. Now you have a salt water solution. Heat the mixture until the water is boiling. This causes the water molecule to evapourate, thus leaving the salt behind.
How do you separate sand from salt?
You place the salt / sand mixture in warm water. The salt will dissolve in the water and you than then four the salt solution off the sand, leaning just sand. Then boil the salt solution untill all the water evaporates, leaving the salt.

No way.... not possible, it has to be seprated with salty water, if u mix fresh water with the salty one the whole thing will become salty ........... dont u know ? when u mix salt in water the whole water gets salty.... but yea u can take out salt out of the water and make it fresh... the process in science known as "Distillation" to seprate salt from the water....
