In this video segment, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Lower Mississippi Gulf Water Science Center (LMGWSC) scientists give a preview of how the USGS is currently working to design a new generation large river sampler. This new sampler will incorporate all functions of previously developed USGS depth and point samplers.
