Description:
Provides an efficient method of preparing subsamples of collected water-sediment mixtures from stream flows for water quality analysis. Water sediment samples are poured into the sample splitter where they are composited into one representative cross section sample of the stream flow. This composite can now be split into the required four to sixteen representative subsamples.
