The description of the Gnydron which 'cannot endure fresh water' in the Gloranthan Beastiary and the mention of the Sweet Sea as freshwater seems to indicate that the major seas of glorantha are salty.
As for rivers getting originating from the same 'source', I prefer to believe that normal geological activities are taking place. FWIW our seas don't get their salt from the rivers as the rivers contain a completely different type of salt (calcium carbonate IIRC as opposed to sodium chloride).

Many RW plants cannot tolerate a high concentration of salt in the soil. Why do you think the Romans are reputed to have plowed the fields of Carthage with salt?
