Freshwater evaporates before saltwater


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

If the marsh behind the weirs gets is salinity from BL, then how could the marsh get more salty than the body of water supplying salt? Both areas experience evaporation at equal rates. If BL is supplied with more fresh water than the marsh, then maybe. But the gulf is also pumping salt into BL during incoming tides that the marsh does not get.

Anyone else willing to offer a theory?
