Why fresh water is important for human life than salt water?

Water is elemental for most life on earth. To name some biological processes, that need water: photosynthesis, catabolism and anabolism (how life stores/uses energy), glycolysis, transpiration, and many more Water is also vitally important to keep temperatures on earth down by transpiration and to enhance mixture in the atmosphere by convection. Also water is a great tool for cleaning and the habitat of many creatures. Freshwater is now that kind of water that is not polluted by anything (salt, dirt,...) and thus usable for these processes.
