Answer:
Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water.
the quality or condition of being salty; saltiness: Ocean currents are driven by differences in the temperature and salinity of the water. a measurement of the amount of salt in a given solution:Adding fresh water to a marsh lowers salinity.
Primary salinity occurs naturally in soils and waters.
Examples of naturally occurring saline areas include salt lakes, salt pans, salt marshes and salt flats. Secondary salinity is salting that results from human activities, usually land development and agriculture.

Here Is Your Answer:
The term salinity refers to the amount of dissolved salts that are present in water. Sodium and chloride are the predominant ions in seawater, and the concentrations of magnesium, calcium, and sulfate ions are also substantial. Naturally occurring waters vary in salinity from the almost pure water, devoid of salts, in snowmelt to the saturated solutions in salt lakes such as the Dead Sea. Salinity in the oceans is constant but is more variable along the coast where seawater is diluted with freshwater from runoff or from the emptying of rivers.
