* Freshwater ponds: Most ponds are freshwater, meaning they have a low salt content. These ponds are typically filled by rainfall, snowmelt, or groundwater, which are naturally low in salinity.
* Saltwater ponds: Some ponds, especially those located in coastal areas or arid regions, can be salty. These ponds might form from the evaporation of seawater, leaving behind a higher salt concentration.
It's important to consider the specific pond you're interested in to determine if it's salty or fresh.
