You can actually use both "freshwater" and "fresh water" depending on the context. 📚 "Freshwater" is usually used as an adjective or a noun to describe bodies of water like lakes or rivers. For example, "He swims in a freshwater lake." But if you're talking about the water being fresh, as in clean or not salty, it's "fresh water". Like "After being at sea, they were thrilled to finally see fresh water." 😉
