Fresh water and salt water meet at a river's mouth, where fresh water becomes salty and is known as brine. This mixing often occurs in an estuary, where the river widens.
A mix of fresh and salt water is called brackish water. This type of water is found in estuaries, where rivers meet the sea, creating a unique ecosystem that supports diverse wildlife.

Fresh and salt water are very different for one key reason, fresh water doesn't contain salt and salt water obviously does. There are different flora and fauna in fresh and salt water for this reason.
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').

Ponds form where rainwater and runoff meet in a depression in the landscape.
The arthur kill is a place where the salt water (ocean) and the fresh water meet together!

on fresh salt water
Salt water is water that has salt in it and it is found in oceans. Fresh water does not have salt and is found in rivers and lakes.
When fresh water is added to salt water, the two types of water will initially form distinct layers due to differences in density. Over time, through a process called mixing and diffusion, the fresh water and salt water will blend together, creating a more uniform salt concentration throughout the mixture.
salt water
Salt water is basically just fresh water with salt mixed in.
