Default New odd question

I'm considering a weekend cabin on the Ohio River.
My question is two fold (and possibly twice dumb)

There is an unused cistern on the property and the property is on the
shore of the Ohio River.

Question 1:

If the cistern is filled with salt water, would the near field of a
vertical be significantly enhanced? Would it lower the TOA?

Question 2:

Does significant flow in a body of water (in this case, the Ohio River)
represent a different dielectric than ground or non-flowing lake water?
How would it effect propagation from a vertical or other antenna system?

Thanks!
