That is why the marsh behind weirs is now higher than the lake

Well, he actually got something right.

But that has nothing to do with why the salinity becomes elevated in the marsh. Saltwater still evaporates, but it is not the salt that is evaporating. When saltwater evaporates, the salt just becomes more concentrated, thus you get higher salinities.

As far as your last post about the weirs, it doesn't surprise me.

You will never learn.
