Not really. Keep in mind that the change in height rather than the volume of water is what is fixed on each tidal cycle. When the salt water is flowing in, it stops flowing when the height in the upper estuary reaches the same height as the lower estuary. Each tidal cycle does not bring a fixed volume of water.
