%X Tritiated water has been used to compare the water turnover rates and water spaces in sheep which had become accustomed to consuming 1.3 % salt water with those of sheep allowed to drink fresh water. The sheep drinking the saline water (mean body weight 42.0 kg) had mean turnover rates of 207 ml/kg/day compared with 90.3 ml/kg/day for sheep drinking fresh water (mean body weight 38.3 kg). The sheep on salt water revealed a mean tritiated water space of 27.5 kg while that of the sheep on fresh water was 23.5 kg.
