Sedimentation in Water Treatment

To enhance the color of the water

To remove all dissolved minerals from the water

To reduce particle concentration in the water (correct)

To increase the need for coagulation and flocculation

Gravity pulls heavier sediments down to form a sludge layer (correct)

Chemicals are added to accelerate sedimentation

The water becomes more acidic

Microorganisms multiply rapidly

Adding more sediments to the water

Creating a thin layer of particles on top of the water
