Gets sediment samples collected by Water Survey of Canada staff at various station locations. Sediment samples are categorized based on the sampling method (Environment Canada, 1988).

Depth-Integrating (DI) Method: Suspended sediment load estimated from 'n' equal-discharge segments in which sediment is sampled vertically through the water column at a uniform rate.

Point-Integating (PI) Method: Suspended sediment load estimated from graphical methods.
Bed Material (BM): Samples of bed material often taken in same sampling verticals as suspended sediment or at waters edge. The total

obtained by either (1) Depth-Integrating Method or (2) Single Suspended
