Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors studied small water bodies, which, however, in the aggregate can be of great importance for the formation of the ecological and geochemical state of coastal territories and water areas. The reviewer do not share the currently accepted methods for assessing water quality, since they do not take into account many important factors that can fundamentally change the assessments (for example, complex formation processes are not taken into account). However, within the existing approaches, the estimates made by the authors are correct. The article is of interest, first of all, in terms of new factual material on the chemical composition of tidal creek water in coastal areas. The reviewer recommends that the authors in the future in similar works give the content of the components of the main salt composition.

Author Response

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. We will pay attention to the analysis of the content of the components of the main salt composition in the tidal creek water in future studies.

Reviewer 2 Report

Please check phrase in line 105-106 (The total nitrogen (TN) in water was digested by alkaline potassium persulfate with 105 UV spectrophotometry).

Please give details or references in line 107 (Nalkene reagents….).

Please give details ore references in line 113 (certified international reference materials….).

In table 6, please check and correct punctuation marks and spaces.

Please check allover the paper the correct number of significance figures (i.e., in line 359: The average concentration of Cu in tidal creek water was 60.00 ug L-1).

Author Response

Thank you for your comments, which were all valuable and very helpful for revising and improving our paper. According to your suggestions, we have revised in the manuscript. There was a more detailed revised reply in the cover letter.
