Design scheme for river and lake sampling pointsAfter setting up the monitoring section, the sampling vertical line on the section should be determined based on the width of the water surface (see Table 3-4), and the position and number of sampling points should be determined based on the depth of the sampling vertical line (see Table 3-5).

Two (near the left and right banks where there is obvious water flow) |
2. When it can be proven that the water quality of the section is uniform, only the median vertical line can be set. 3. When calculating pollutant flux at this section, it must be set according to this table |

4. When frozen, sample at 0.5m below the ice, and when the water depth is less than 0.5m, sample at 1/2 of the water depth. |
5. When calculating the pollutant content in this section, sampling points must be set according to this table. |
When there is a temperature stratification phenomenon in the water body of lakes and reservoirs, the number and location of sampling points can be determined based on the relationship between the temperature distribution layer and the sampling points (Table 3-6).

When there is sufficient data to confirm that the water quality is uniform along the vertical line, the number of measuring points can be reduced as appropriate. |

,After determining the location of the monitoring section and sampling points, there should be fixed and obvious natural signs along the shore at their positions. If there are no natural markers, artificial markers such as vertical stone pillars, wooden stakes, etc. should be set up. Each sampling should strictly follow the markers, so that the collected samples are taken from the same location to ensure the representativeness and comparability of the samples.
