I apologize if my response was not satisfactory. Would you like me to try again?

Yes.

The term saline refers to water that contains a significant amount of dissolved salts, typically sodium chloride (table salt). Saline water is not suitable for drinking as it has a high salt content and can be harmful to humans and most organisms. It can be found in oceans, seas, and saltwater bodies.
