The salinity map describes the amount and distribution of salt in the water-bodies and water-table within the water map. This data is used to assign the location of land types in the attributes map, specifically those that are found near the sea (eg. beach sand, foreshore scrub) and those that are found near freshwater (eg. fertile riverbanks).

Here, white is sea (100% salinity), and black is freshwater (0% salinity).
