Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of sedimentation in water treatment?
  • Step 1: Water from a source (like a river or lake) is collected and brought to a treatment facility.
  • Step 2: The water contains various particles, such as dirt, sand, and other impurities.
  • Step 3: The water is placed in a large tank where it can sit still for a while.
  • Step 4: Because of gravity, the heavier particles in the water start to sink to the bottom of the tank.
  • Step 5: As the heavier particles settle, the water above becomes clearer.
  • Step 6: The clear water can then be taken from the top for further treatment, while the settled particles at the bottom can be removed.
