Begins with a brief overview of the insect orders with aquatic representatives. Continues with evolutionary considerations, habitat occurrences of aquatic insect communities and the relationship of these insects to environmental variables such as temperature, substrate, flow and water level, suspended sediment, light, oxygen and other chemical factors.
