The spring boar overruns it for 2 tides, but other than that its freshwater above the groves.

Answer 7

It is fresh water.  Saltwater is sea water :)

Answer 8

Basically as said, a river starts life as fresh, ie not saline, but picks up some salts on its way towards the sea.  It gets to be brackish (semi-saltwater) when it is affected by saline intrusion either in the estuary where you have inflowing sea water or where (more rarely) there is saline intrusion into aquifers below the surface and some of this seeps up into the freshwater.  Even as a river discharges into the sea from its estuary it is somewhat less salty than the sea itself so always "floats" on the top until it is mixed in by wave motion.  Saltwater meaning seawater varies around the world as to its saltiness with some inland seas more salty than the open ocean due to evaporation in hotter climates.

Answer 9

Depends on how far up you are.  Upper reaches will be freshwater, the estuary will be saltwater and mid tidal ranges will be brackish.
