heal.abstract	The paper studies the anticipated changes in the seepage of a major river in Greece, towards the low-salinity ponds of its estuaries, through the deltaic alluvia and the underlying limestone. The study was triggered by the concern that changes in the salinity of the deltaic ponds due to the large scale river diversion would affect their rich ecosystems. It is shown that the contribution of river water seepage towards the deltaic ponds in the area is small compared to the discharge of excess irrigation water. Furthermore, the high salinity of the groundwater in the fine alluvia imposes a 'barrier' on the flow towards the external parts of the delta, where the biotope has developed. It is concluded that even the small anticipated changes in the salinity of the influx of seepage to the deltaic ponds, can be easily controlled by monitoring the direct freshwater discharge towards the ponds.	en
