Development and Testing of a New Technique for Measuring Pine Sediment in Streams
Abstract
The collection and analysis of bed material samples
has been a standard practice for determining the quantity of fine
sediments (less than 3.35 mm diameter) in stream gravels. However the sampling techniques currently in use can be labor and
equipment intensive. Also, inaccuracy in quantification of the
finer fractions can occur dependent upon bed material composition. This paper reports on a study which has evaluated the
utility of a sediment trapping device for measuring fine sediment
in the intergravel environment.
