Nadeem, You will find several methods described in:
Rapid Bioassessment Protocols For Use in Streams and Wadeable Rivers: Periphyton, Benthic Macroinvertebrates, and Fish Second Edition EPA 841-B-99-002 http://www.epa.gov/OWOW/monitoring/techmon.html They describe a kicknet method that is often used by volunteer monitoring groups. A kicknet can be made from a couple of wooden poles, staples, window screen and duct tape that can be found at a hardware store for relatively little cost. Buckets for keeping your sample and pans and tweezers for sorting would be extra. Frank H.
