Salt water is agua salada. Brine is salmuera.
I think words like agua and aula are feminine gender nouns that take el because is sounds better. It's las aguas isn't it? Yhere's a town in Mexico called Agua Prieta.

Yes, agua is a femenine noun, but it takes the masculine singular articles (both definite and indefinite). So does any femenine noun whose first syllable is stressed and begins with the letter 'a' or with 'ha' (except hache). This is done purely because it sounds better, as Poli stated. In their plural form, the femenine plural articles are used for these words.
