Édesvíznél

Édesvíznél is a Hungarian term that translates to "freshwater" or "sweet water." It refers to naturally occurring water bodies that contain a low concentration of dissolved salts and other minerals. This is in contrast to saltwater, which has a high concentration of dissolved salts. Freshwater ecosystems are vital for a wide range of life, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Freshwater environments are diverse and include lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, wetlands, and groundwater. The salinity levels in freshwater can vary, but they are generally considered to be below 0.5 parts per thousand (ppt). This low salinity allows for the survival of many species that are not adapted to high salt concentrations. Freshwater sources are essential for human consumption, agriculture, industry, and recreation.

The availability and quality of freshwater resources are critical global issues. Factors such as climate change, pollution, and overuse can significantly impact freshwater ecosystems and the availability of potable water. Conservation efforts and sustainable water management practices are therefore crucial for preserving these valuable resources for present and future generations.
