Abstract: The artificial constructions of estuarine reservoirs strongly effect the salinity distribution and flow pattern in the water, and it is necessary for the effective utilization of water to investigate the salt balance and salinity distribution in the reservoirs. As an example of the surveys on estuarine reservoirs, the results of the observation in Kojima Lake were analysed on the basis of experimental and theoretical studies on the salt transport, in order to calculate the incoming and outgoing items of salt balance. Furthermore, the salinity distribution in the river region where pumping stations for irrigation purpose are installed, was studied with regard to the salt supply from polder land and the horizontal diffusion in the river course, and a good agreement between theoretical and observed results was obtained.
