The concentrations of salts in waters are very variable and also the salt types; each water has a specific composition. For example sea/ocean water have approx. 35 g/L sodium chloride and treated tap water practically doesn't contain salts.

How salt water and fresh water is different?
Fresh water is from rain or snow and is very pure and free of dissolved salts. Salt water is sea water and contains salts (mainly sodium chloride ie common salt)brought in by rivers over millions of years which cannot escape and the sea therefore gets more and more salty every year. Well fresh water evaporates and with the salt water the salt stays in the water that hasn't evaporated yet.
