| Definition | Brackish water condition is in between saline and fresh water, with a salinity range between 5 to 30 ppt. Brackish water is water that has more salinity than fresh water, but not as much as seawater. It may result from mixing of seawater with fresh water, as in estuaries, or it may occur in brackish fossil aquifers. Example: Lagoons, Estuaries under tidal influence, or also lakes in plains without outflow drainage may have brackish water conditions. Baltic Sea: salt concentration 8 ppt; Black Sea: salt concentration 18 ppt. |
