Flow-Proportional Large Volume Composite Sampling for Substance Flux Assessment

This study explores the use of flow-proportional large volume sampling to assess substance fluxes in the Kraichbach Catchment. The results provide reliable mean fluxes and capture "hot moments" of transport, improving the accuracy of sediment input models.

  2. Large Volume Sampler

  3. Kraichbach Catchment 160 km² ~50% arableland loesssoils gentleslopes meanflow: 1.1 m³/s

  4. Dischargeand large volumesampling

  5. 32 large volume composite samples

  6. LVS – Adapted Rating Curve • Qmax: best predictor for mean SSC •  applied to 2009-2014 discharge • Time variable, volume constant: ? ~ 2500 t a-1 ~ 16 t a-1km-2 Zheng (2018)

  7. Sediment input Sediment input, annualaverage: 939 t a-1from “connected“ arableland (~40 km² or 50% of total) 55 t a-1frompastures, orchards, forests 58 t a-1wastewatertreatmentplants 49 t a-1combinedseweroverflows ~1100 t a-1total ~ 2500 t a-1 Large Volume Sampler

  8. Sediment flux vs. eventmagnitude • 1976-2018 dischargedata • >1300 events; Qmax • Highest 10%  50% offlux
