That reminds me of a Clive Cussler book when Dirk Pitt traveled through a underground river through the desert and into the gulf of Mexico or Baja.
Fun book.
I read an account many years ago, about a ship that went down off the coast of California. Everyone made it to the lifeboat and were saved. But they were way off from nearest land and no potable water. So they prayed and asked for a miracle. Almost immediately the water beneath their boat became fresh. It was like “an oasis”, the captain later described it as being.
Very easy to understand how...The shorelines used to extend out perhaps as much as 200 miles as ocean levels were some 400 feet lower than today during the last Ice Age. If there were underground aquifers in those regions then once covered with ocean waters, those aquifers would still be there....
Clearwater, Florida was originally called Clear Water. That was because natural springs in the bay made it clear. People loved it and developments were built on the aquifer thus sealing it off under concrete and asphalt.
Salt water is denser. Hence people floating easily in the Great Salt Lake.
There is more water under the Seabed than on top of the Seabed. Same as an IceBerg having more ice below the water than on top. These waters are referred to in the Bible as the Fountains of the Deep. These are the waters that came up out of their fountains during Noahs Flood. This is the only possible way that this amount of water could flood all the mountain tops and then disappear within a matter of months.
Most likely a lot of this water is purified.
It’s all that plastic being dumped in the oceans.....
There are a large number of large springs in the Florida Panhandle. Many within 30 miles of me. Millions of gallons of gin clear water flowing away as creeks and rivers.

Yeah. Water doesn’t compress much. if at all , and becomes slightly less dense as it nears freezing and attempts to form a solid matrix....ice.
Mr. Merriweather : Listen to me, a two legged creature will believe anything and the more preposterous the better: whales speak French at the bottom of the sea... I have sold all those propositions.
Flying saucer pilots use them to drink fresh water. Worked long before the bottled water they use during patrols today.
Source is an underground civilization with space aliens who pilot submersible vehicles that break through to the air and soar at Mach 10. USO= Unidentified Submersible Objects.
None of the above is true but I find the speculative (nonsensical) books fun to read. Atlantis Rising Magazine just went out of business in May but Fate Magazine is still around since my childhood. Fun stuff. Gets my mind off politics for a while.
Praise the Lord!
Ok yes! Like the Dead Sea. Forgot which one had that characteristic.
Thanks for clearing it up!
I remember reading in Bowditch that if water were indeed absolutely incompressible, sea level would be ~90 feet higher than it is.
How could the daggone climate have changed that much without us to cause it?
The water was made fresh but they still had to remain in the boat and adrift for awhile. Not doubting the miracle...just considering what God might have been trying to teach....

Yeah. Somewhat denser when cold. More lively when warm. Pressure would be a factor, for sure.
