The water flows through a mixed media filter with layers of layers of gravel, sand, and charcoal or coal, which filter out fine sediment. The sediment is removed from the filter by backwashing, dewatered and disposed of in a landfill.

What causes sediment in water from well?

When the water is pumped into the holding tank, it contains fine particles of sediment that are not yet filtered out as they would be in a city water system. By the time the well water is delivered, most of the particles have settled into the bottom of the tank.

What forces carry sediment?

Wind, water, ice, and gravity are the main forces that carry sediment. Wind can transport fine particles over long distances, while water can move sediment through rivers, streams, and ocean currents. Ice can transport sediment when it freezes into glaciers, and gravity can cause landslides and rockfall to move sediment downhill.


Which sediment do you think will allow water to pass through most easily?

Coarse sediment, such as sand and gravel, will allow water to pass through most easily due to the larger spaces between the particles. Fine sediment, like silt and clay, will have smaller pores and restrict water flow.


What is the fine sediment left behind when a flood recedes?

The fine sediment left behind when a flood recedes is called silt. Silt consists of particles smaller than sand and is often deposited on floodplains as the water recedes.
