Answer:
Screening
Explanation:
Surface water (water from Angat Dam and Ipo Dam) often contains large debris, such as sticks, logs, leaves, fish, and trash. These objects can clog the water-treatment system and therefore must removed before the water enters the treatment plant. As such, treatment facilities that use surface water have large screens that cover the site of water intake. The debris is too large to pass through the holes in these screens. So as the water enters the facility’s tunnels and aqueducts, the large debris is removed. These screens, however, must be cleaned periodically to remove any objects that have become stuck and prevent the screen from becoming clogged and impeding water flow into the facility.
(Answer 2:)
Sedimentation
Other suspended insoluble particles, such as sand and dirt, are often small enough to pass easily through the screens. Therefore, these particles must be removed from the water by another process known as sedimentation. When water is allowed to sit, heavy suspended particles, such as sand, will settle to the bottom over time, as they are denser than water. The water, now free of the suspended impurities, can be collected from the top without disturbing the layer of sediment at the bottom, which is eventually discarded
