Title: Constituent loads in small streams: the process and problems of estimating sediment flux
Author: "Thomas, R. B."
Date: 1989
Source: "EOS, Transactions, American Geophysical Union 70(43): 1105-1106"
Description: "Constituent loads in small streams are often estimated poorly. This is especially true for discharge-related constituents like sediment, since their flux is highly variable and mainly occurs during infrequent high-flow events. One reason for low-quality estimates is that most prevailing data collection methods ignore sampling probabilities and only partly account for variations in constituent flow."
Keywords: "PSW4351, constituent loads, measurement, pumping samplers"
