Best Answer

the air is pumped through the clarified water so that it allows aerobic bacteria to grow and consume organic contaminates such as faeces ,food ,waste that is left in the water . then bacteria ultimately settles down and water is removed from top and then suspended impurities to be discharged into a water body
