5. EXPEDITION ROUTE
An actual expedition route was almost the one planned. As mentioned above, two expedition parties moved down stream the Dnipro river and its tributaries, as well as Prypyat and its tributaries. The posts and dates, where and when samples were taken and hydro-metric measurements were conducted, are presented in the Table 5.1. Apart from planned ones, we took samples of water from Prypyat River down stream Pinsk town and from trans-boundary posts at L’va and Slovechna rivers (Prypyat river tributaries). Taken water samples were delivered to the nearest hydro-chemical laboratories of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection (in Brest, Vitebsk, Mohylyov, Homel and Minsk) for hydro-chemical testing. Water samples for radiation and hydro-biological tests, as well as samples of bottom sediments and fish tissues, were delivered to central laboratories of Minsk.
