Question: What was the name of the place where the Israelites complained about bitter water that Moses made sweet?
Answer: Marah
Interesting Tidbit: Marah means "bitter" in Hebrew. The Israelites had traveled three days in the wilderness without finding water, and when they finally found some at Marah, it was too bitter to drink. Moses threw a piece of wood into the water as God instructed, and it became sweet and drinkable.
Source: Exodus 15:23-25
