The fractional water‐sediment sampler enables collecting large‐volume representative samples of water and sediment from surface drainage streams. Free fall‐flow, such as obtained at drop structures, is required for the operation of the sampler. The total sediment‐laden water flow sampled can be split to 50 or 25% of the original sampled flow before being directed to containers by adding one or two splitting stages.
