Question

what is sedimentation??ʘ‿ʘ




Good Morning all
anybody zida here
answer in long.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sedimentation is the process of allowing particles in suspension in water to settle out of the suspension under the effect of gravity. ... There is a variety of methods for applying sedimentation and include: horizontal flow, radial flow, inclined plate, ballasted floc and floc blanket sedimentation.

Answer 2

Sedimentation is the process of allowing particles in suspension in water to settle out of the suspension under the effect of gravity. The particles that settle out from the suspension become sediment, and in water treatment is known as sludge.

Sedimentation occurs when eroded material that is being transported by water, settles out of the water column onto the surface, as the water flow slows. The sediments that form a waterway's bed, banks and floodplain have been transported from higher in the catchment and deposited there by the flow of water.

Sediment increases the cost of treating drinking water and can result in odor and taste problems. Sediment can clog fish gills, reducing resistence to disease, lowering growth rates, and affecting fish egg and larvae development.

How to prevent and control sediment loss

• Minimise site disturbance. Prevention is better than cure. ...
• Divert uncontaminated stormwater
• Avoid contamination of stormwater with sediment.
• Minimise the potential for erosion.
• Minimise contaminated water leaving the site.
• Use sediment control devices.
