Abstract (EN): This paper describes a system designed to collect water samples, from the surface down to a configurable depth, and with configurable profiles of vertical velocity. The design was intended for the analysis of suspended sediments, therefore the sampling can integrate water flow for a given depth profile, or at a specific depth. The system is based on a catamaran-shaped platform, from which a towfish is lowered to collect the water samples. The use of a surface vehicle ensures a permanent link between the operator and the full system, allowing for a proper mission supervision. All components can be remotely controlled from the control station, or programmed for fully autonomous operation. Although the main intended use is for the analysis of suspended sediments in rivers, it can easily be extended to collect water samples in other water bodies.
