Sedimentation is a physical process used for water treatment by gravity to remove suspended solids from the water. In this sedimentation tank, water is entered at inlet which flow towards outlet with some velocity and during this time the particles which are heavier in weight settles at bottom of tank but rest of the particles remains in suspension which are lighter . So, when the volume of sedimentation basin is increases the flow through period of water containing suspended solids is increases which means water take more time to flow toward outlet . Due to which lighter particles also starts settle at bottom of tank and hence efficiency of tank or basin is increased. So, due to which effectiveness of basin is increased.
