Salt water: water in oceans and seas. Some lakes that have high evaporation rates have very salty water (The Great Salt Lake, The Dead Sea)
Fresh water: Water in rivers, ponds, streams and lakes that are replenished by rainfall, and drain naturally rather than by evaporation.
Brackish water: water in tidal areas such as bayous. Groundwater can be brackish.
