A simple, manually operated water sampler, that can be used for collection of water sample at desired depths from estuaries, near shore regions, lagoons, bays and lakes has been designed by the authors. The instrument is operated successfully in the Krishna estuary and Nizampatnam bay for collection of water samples to determine suspended sediment transport and nutrient diffusion. The instrument is found to be quite useful to sedimentologists and environmental researchers.
