I am searching for papers to get an overview of different approaches on longitudinal sampling strategies. For me, it would be important to know how they deal with wastewater treatment plants, inlets from other streams and urban areas. I want to identify differences in chemical pollution within one stream.

There are several approaches to longitudinal sampling in the study of water quality in streams, including:
Papers that specifically examine the use of these sampling strategies in the context of wastewater treatment plants, inlets from other streams, and urban areas could include:
These papers should provide a good starting point for understanding different approaches to longitudinal sampling and their application to the study of chemical pollution in streams.
There are several papers and studies that have addressed longitudinal sampling strategies for assessing chemical pollution in aquatic environments, including freshwater streams and rivers. Some of these studies focus specifically on the impact of wastewater treatment plants, inlets from other streams, and urban areas on chemical pollution levels.
Here are some studies you might find relevant to your research:
You can access these studies through academic search engines such as Google Scholar or Web of Science. Additionally, you may want to consider reaching out to researchers in the field to see if they have access to additional resources or if they know of any recent studies on this topic.
