Which organs will be instructed to take corrective measures if the blood flowing through it has too much water?

The kidneys are the major organ of homeostasis. They control the water volume in blood by measuring the salt content of the filtrate as it produces urine. If the concentration is too low it tells the kidneys to release renin, which releases angiotensin II, which then releases aldosterone. This then tells the kidneys to retain more salt which increases the water retention in the body. The negative feedback chemical to this is atrial natriuretic hormone release by the heart. There is no organ that measures and corrects the water volume in the body. Water volume is controlled by salt concentration.
