Filtration is the easiest way. You need a .45micron membrane filter. You
can put this onto a medium and incubate for bacterial/fungal growth and can
use staining techniques for parasites - I assume you are thinking of
Cryptosporidium. If you have heavily contaminated water then centrifugation
of relatively small amounts is an option for culturing/staining of the
deposit.
