Shallow water bottom sediment trap — A novel approach

摘要

An attempt was made to design and fabricate a sediment trap to study the sediment flux in a shallow water body. The instrument consists of a pole standing on a tripod structure with concrte cones at the base. The trap is a cylinder which can be clamped to the pole at different levels. While the trap is better suited for shallow waters, the base stand system can also be used as a mooring in deeper waters.
