Question

Why is the taste of sea water salty where as water in rivers like Godavari are not salty ?

Answer 1

After years and years of river inflow and evaporation, the salt content of the lake water built up to the present levels. The same process made the seas salty. Rivers carry dissolved salts to the ocean. Water evaporates from the oceans to fall again as rain and to feed the rivers, but the salts remain in the ocean.

Answer 2

rivers which join the seas contain salt in them even though we don't taste it when drink river water. so when the rivers join the seas they bring all the salt with them. so sea water is salty
