The study involved qualitative and quantitative analysis of suspended sediment and its origin in a small reservoir located in Blizne, Podkarpackie Region (SE Poland), and was conducted during summer 2017. Results showed a linear negative correlation between the suspended sediment in a water column and its organic matter content. There was also a clear relationship between the suspended sediment content and the rate of sedimentation of solid particles suspended in the water column. The research showed that the TOC-to-OM conversion factor commonly applied to bottom sediments does not apply to sediments suspended in the water column. It was also observed that the organic matter prevailing in entrapped sediment was of autochthonous origin. Its share was greatest and the content of total phosphorus highest when retention period increased. The increase in phosphorus content co-occurred with the decreasing TOC:TN ratio, and with a decrease in the sedimentation rate. Analysis has thus shown that the composition and specific nature of suspended sediment in this reservoir affects the rate of deposition of matter and can determine the siltation processes.

该研究涉及定性和定量分析2017年夏季在位于Podkarpackie地区（波兰东南部）的Blizne的小型水库中的悬浮沉积物及其来源。它的有机物含量。悬浮的泥沙含量与悬浮在水柱中的固体颗粒的沉淀速率之间也存在明显的关系。研究表明，通常适用于底部沉积物的TOC到OM转换因子不适用于悬浮在水柱中的沉积物。还观察到，截留的沉积物中普遍存在的有机物是自生的。保留期增加时，其份额最大，总磷含量最高。磷含量的增加与TOC：TN比的降低以及沉降速率的降低共同发生。因此，分析表明，该储层中悬浮泥沙的成分和特殊性质会影响物质的沉积速率，并可以确定淤积过程。
