'Fresh water' always means as opposed to salt/sea water. 'Fresh water fishing', etc. (I'm not sure where you draw the line in rivers though)

- Symmetry 2y agoIt's just that I have a hard time imagining that there were seas without any rain occurring for hundreds of millions of years so it didn't occur to me that these could be separate questions. And most of the comments here seem to be conflating them as well.
- didgetmaster 2y agoI also have a hard time understanding how they differentiate between salt water and fresh water so long ago. It seems like the salinity of the oceans has changed over time. The first seas might have been quite fresh as compared to the ocean today (or even more salty).
