nonsaline
Lacking salt content
Nonsaline describes something that lacks salt or is not salty.
The term appears most often in scientific and technical contexts: nonsaline water sources, nonsaline soils.
It contrasts with saline, particularly when distinguishing between salt water and fresh water, or when classifying environments by their salt content.
