ABSTRACT
A method is described for measuring the
discharge of floating slush in rivers, i. e. the
amount of slush in kilograms passing a given
cross section per unit time. The measuremenl
is performed with a device known as slush
collector. It .consists of a rectangular frame of
flat steel bars. The frame is held perpendi-
cularily to the direction of flow. The upstream
edge of the frame is sharpened to ease he cutt-
ing of slush clusters. To the frame is fastened
a bag of nylon gaze which allows pure water
to pass through but retains the slush. The frame
is held against the slush flow for a certain time,
measured on a stop-watch, after which the de-
vice is lifted off the loater, excess water allowed
to drain off, and the sample weighed. The
frame width is selected according to the amount
of slush discharge. Large slush discharge re-
quires a narroiu frarne and vice versa. The
sampling is repeated at a suitable number of
points across the river.
To relate the slush discharge to total (ice +
water) discharge, the latter is assumed to be
determined from a near-by water gauge in the
normal fashion.
