VLIZ Programme INTERREG III : STARDUST Spatial and Temporal Assessment of high Resolution Depth Profiles Using Novel Sampling Technologies Phase II Quality of water and sediment of the Schelde, the Leie, the Deule and the Spierre
Samples taken • Surface water: • Dissolved trace metals • Major ions • Suspended matter concentrations • Sediments (bulk sediments) • Trace metals • Major ions • Organic matter
Choice of future sampling stations for Phase II • L’Escaut / Schelde : • Helkijn (station 5) • Bassin Rond (station 11) • La Deûle / Deule : • Deulemont (station 14) • Metal Europe (station 19) • La Lys / Leie : • Warneton (station 16) • Menen (station 18)
Timing of sampling • March-April 2004: spring • June-July 2004: summer • September-October 2004: autumn • December-January 2005: winter
Parameters to be analysed in Phase II • First expedition: thorough characterisation of sediments • Porewaters: • pH • Redox • Alcalinity • DOC • NO3-, NO2-, SO4 2- , Cl, NH4+, PO4 3- • Dissolved S • Fe 2+ • Trace metals • Hg speciation • DGT/DET: trace metals, (Hg speciation), ... • Sediments • POC • Hg/MMHg • Trace metals/ major ions • AVS/CRS • Sequential extractions
