How does sedimentation aid in the clarification of water?

  • 1

Sedimentation clarifies water by allowing suspended particles to settle at the bottom of a tank due to gravity. The clearer water above the sediment can then be removed for further purification.

  1. Sedimentation aids in water clarification by letting suspended particles settle out of the water due to gravity. In a sedimentation tank, heavier particles sink to the bottom, forming a layer of sediment. The clearer water above the sediment can then be carefully removed and further treated if necessary. This process reduces the load on subsequent purification stages, improving overall water quality and treatment efficiency.
