Today, freshwater is the most popular of all synonyms for this concept. Origin of freshwater: 2. Freshwater came from Middle English freche watur, equivalent to fresh + water. The term freshwater got into standard English usage around the 16th century. Earliest publications we could find were published after the 1550s. Some of which include:
Other international minor synonyms like ‘fresh-water’, ‘sweet water’ and ‘soft water’ are equally popularly used in some regions of the world. 3. ‘Soft water’ slipped in as a synonym in the 18th century, precisely around the 1710s. Some early publications we could find featuring this word are:

DEFINITION |
Naturally occurring liquid or frozen water with very low concentration in salt (less than 1,000 milligrams per litter of dissolved salts and salinity of less than 0.5), and low conductivity (conductivity often less than 200 µS/cm). It refers to all waters with low hardness including all inland aquatic systems such as streams, brooks, springs, rivers and lakes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

NOTES | Freshwater, also called sweet water, fresh-water, unsalted water, non-saline water, non-salty water refers to water bodies, which are renewable, and variable, but finite natural resource. Fresh water bodies are replenished through the natural water cycle, in which water from oceans, seas, lakes, forests, land, rivers and reservoirs evaporates, forms clouds, and returns inland as precipitation. Characteristics of freshwater
Examples and forms of freshwater In our everyday lives, we do interact in one way or the other with freshwater forms. Freshwater takes many forms. The gaseous form (clouds), the liquid form (e.g. rain water, well water, ponds, lakes, springs, creeks, brooks, streams, rivers) and the solid form (like icebergs, snows). Facts about freshwater Authors hold that water covers about 75% of the earth’s surface, but just a very small proportion is fresh water that can be used directly by people, animals and plants because:
Fresh water should not be mistaken for soft water, as these are two different concepts. Below is a tabular breakdown of the major differences (table 1) and similarities (table 1) between freshwater and soft water. Table 1: differences between fresh and soft water

NOTES | Marine waters cover more than 70% of the surface of the Earth and account for more than 97% of Earth's water supply and 90% of habitable space on Earth. Marine ecosystems include nearshore systems, such as the salt marshes, mudflats, seagrass meadows, mangroves, rocky intertidal systems and coral reefs. On the United States Geological Survey salinity scale, saline water is saltier than brackish water, but less salty than brine. The salt concentration is usually expressed in parts per thousand and parts per million.( Wikipedia) |
