Question

Define Sedimentation process​

Answer 1

Sedimentation, or clarification, is the processes of letting suspended material settle by gravity. Suspended material may be particles, such as clay or silts, originally present in the source water.

Answer 2

Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or electromagnetism.
