Sedimentation is a process that removes impurities from suspended particles in water using gravity. It occurs when the particles are heavier than the water. Sedimentation is a low-cost pre-treatment technology that removes settable solids and some microbes from water. It also improves the visual quality of the water and increases its acceptance by consumers.

Topics include: Theory of Sedimentation, Design Elements of Sedimentation, Sedimentation with Coagulation, & Flocculation and Clarification.
