Does anyone know if lake water compromises the structural integrity of concrete?

What happens here

After the concrete is mixed, use a shovel to scoop the wet concrete from the wheelbarrow. Carefully deposit the concrete into a pre-dug trench that outlines the pathway and the base of the stairs. Spread the concrete evenly along the trench to create a level and continuous bed that will serve as the foundation for the paver blocks.

Goal: Create a level concrete foundation for the pavers
