  • Salinity is defined as total amount of dissolved salts in sea water.

  • It is calculated as amount of salt (in grams) dissolved in 1000 gms of sea water and usually expressed in "ppt" (parts per thousand).

  • Salinity differs from one water source to other.

  • For example:-salinity of fresh water(ponds,rivers etc..) is 0-5 ppt, brakish water (estuaries, Swamps etc..)

  • The main reason for these differences can attributed to :-

  1. Rate of chemical erosion of bed rock.
  2. Rate of evaporation.
  3. Presence of biological elements (plants and animals).

  • For example, if rate of evaporation is high, the amount of salt gets accumulated is high leading to high salinity.

  • Example:- dead sea has salinity of 238%.
