Show The understanding was such 987 to make him use care . in taking his samples , so that it would be a true ( rep- rep ) resentation of the section at which it was taken . ( R . 3845-3847 . ) As stated before , the amount of solid matter carried in suspension increased as the discharge of the river increased . As the river rose , the silt did go up , but he stated back there that the peak of discharge was not reached until the next day , on a falling stage of silt .

It is not his opinion , from his experience , that in lowering the one hundred pound weight to the bottom of the river and raising it that silt is stirred up and the samples made muddier than they otherwise would be , because the river is so turbulent that it would do so much more to cause such a condition than would the mere dropping and lowering of the weight .
