We describe a simple, inexpensive artificial stream to rear mayflies from sandy bottom streams. It consisted of a 151 L tub containing sand and water from a local stream. A small submersible pump circulated the water and netting was placed over the tub to collect adults. The stream was operated in a heated greenhouse. This artificial stream was remarkably productive. We collected over 2100 adult mayflies representing 6 genera along with several Trichoptera and Diptera adults. This stream was productive for 55 weeks with minimal maintenance.

Global warming has led to lower levels of the water basins. Groundwater levels also decrease. Sometimes they fall so much so that submersible pumps in the wells remain almost dry and even in short work cycles get damaged. Their repairs are very expensive and labour intensive. An algorithm for management and protection of submersible pump is proposed in the paper. It uses 5 level sensors. It allows full utilization of the wells capacity and protects the pump motors from premature wear due to frequent switching on and off.
