Brine - is salt water. So the sea, which is the main source of salt water is sometimes known as "the briny". Salt water has various special properties and the fish that live in the sea and in salt lakes are usually not the same kinds that live in fresh water rivers. Salt water cannot be drunk for refreshment or even sick. But it is possible by using expensive desalinization plants to remove the salt and make the water drinkable. The sea contains many valuable minerals and salts. In some parts of the world such as coastal Brittany in France the sea is allowed to flood the marshes to a shallow depth when the tide comes in. The sun evaporates the water and leaves the salts to be collected.
