Saltwater artificial lake/pond?

Question

If i was to pump filtered sea water into a lake/large pond, would that be ok? or would there be a funky smell or something of that sort?

Answer 1

it would not stay salt water as the rain would dilute it and it would leach into the soil. I would stay away from that idea completely.

Answer 2

I don't think it would smell but the salt in the water could ruin the soil surrounding the pond killing plant life and the salty water could infiltrate a fresh water supply.
