Instantaneous Suspended Sediment Measurement Information
The Benchmark Sediment Monitoring Program offers weekly data from suspended sediment samples collected at fifteen sampling sites throughout Illinois. The samples are analyzed at the Water Survey Sediment Laboratory in Champaign. The analysis of these samples determines their suspended sediment concentration and suspended sediment particle sizes. Two forms of information are offered for downloading: Instantaneous Suspended Sediment Measurement (below), and Particle Size Distribution.
