A Coastal reservoir is a type of reservoir to store fresh water in a dammed area of a coastal sea near a river delta. Saemanguem in South Korea, Marina Barrage in Singapore, Qingcaosha in China, Plover Cove in Hong Kong, Zuiderzee Works and Delta Works in the Netherlands , and Thanneermukkom Bund in India are a few existing coastal reservoirs.
Coastal reservoirs are fresh water storage reservoirs located on the sea coast near a river mouth to store the flood water of a river. [7] As the land-based reservoir construction is fraught with substantial land submergence, coastal reservoirs are preferred economically and technically since they do not use scarce land area. [ 8 ]
From the Bethany Reservoir, the aqueduct flows by gravity approximately 60 mi (97 km) to the O'Neill Forebay at the San Luis Reservoir. From the O'Neill Forebay, it flows approximately 16 mi (26 km) to the Dos Amigos Pumping Plant. After Dos Amigos, the aqueduct flows about 95 mi (153 km) to where the Coastal Branch splits from the "main line".
Hells Canyon Reservoir: an impoundment of the Snake River: Henry Hagg Lake: a 1,200-acre (4.9 km 2) reservoir in the foothills of the Coast Range, just west of Forest Grove; an impoundment of Scoggins Creek, a tributary of the Tualatin River in Washington County Hills Creek Reservoir
Plover Cove Reservoir, located within Plover Cove Country Park, in the northeastern New Territories, is the largest reservoir in Hong Kong in terms of area, and the second-largest in terms of volume. [1] It is the world's first freshwater coastal lake constructed from an arm of the ocean.
The Coastal Branch was completed in 1994 following a severe drought that led to calls for importation of SWP water. [41] Through a pipeline known as the Central Coast Water Authority extension, completed in 1997, [41] the Coastal Branch supplies water to Lake Cachuma, a 205,000 acre⋅ft (0.253 km 3) reservoir on the Santa Ynez River.

The littoral zone, also called litoral or nearshore, is the part of a sea, lake, or river that is close to the shore. [1] In coastal ecology, the littoral zone includes the intertidal zone extending from the high water mark (which is rarely inundated), to coastal areas that are permanently submerged — known as the foreshore — and the terms are often used interchangeably.
