Abstract

A sequential rain sampler is described. It was designed to automatically operate unattended in remote areas. Precipitation water is sampled sequentially in order to study the evolution of contaminant concentrations as a function of rain intensities and duration. A few preliminary results are presented; they are related to rain samples collected in a semi-rural area.
