Sažetak
Suspended particulate material (SPM) is the main carrier of many natural and anthropogenic substances transported by fluvial systems. Obtaining representative samples of SPM is of fundamental importance in studies concerned with quantifying geochemical fluxes and understanding water quality in fluvial systems. Sampling of SPM is constrained by several factors: (I) suspended material transport is highly episodic and sampling activity should be focused on high river discharge periods ; (II) adequate sampling equipment is not always available and sampling could be costly and time consuming ; (III) individually (daily) taken samples may not be representative of material transported during a longer period (Walling, 2008). In order to overcome these obstacles, a time- integrated sampler (TIMS), designed according to Phillips et al. (2000), was employed for SPM sampling in the Sava River.
