Assessing, Sampling and Analysis Techniques [Dec 2008]
Implications for calculating nutrient and sediment loads
Do water samples collected routinely for monitoring programmes accurately reflect river phosphorus (P) and suspended solids (SS) concentrations? This paper examines several stages of standard sampling, preservation and analysis techniques (SSPAT) for water samples from two lowland UK rivers. Although universal analytical procedures are necessary for data comparison, this paper indicates that adopting a SSPAT approach alone may jeopardise sample representativeness. Therefore, preliminary surveys to assess whether SSPAT protocol is sufficient to quantify P and SS loads are highly recommended.
