Abstract
Summary
The paper discusses the use of sediment traps to study suspended matter in rivers, which helps assess water quality and manage sediment. These passive samplers collect suspended particles over extended periods, allowing analysis of their composition, granulometry, and pollutant content. Applied to the Dnipro River, the study reveals valuable insights into sediment dynamics, pollutant distribution, and hydrological changes. The results contribute to hydrochemical monitoring and sediment management, particularly in the context of environmental impacts like the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam.
