The depicted diagram illustrates water filtration procedure utilizing sand filter. It cleanses dirt and particles found in raw water slowly and extracts fresh water ultimately after going through three distinct steps.
The filtration process starts with a comparatively small chamber where the raw water breaks the pressure. That is comparatively smaller in width than the other ones and have a small gap in top of it which is used for the water to penetrate in the next compartment. Undoubtedly, It is the largest portion of the filter as the real filtration happens here. It is comprised of sand and gravel of 60-90 cm and 20-30 cm respectively. Those elements facilitates the water to get rid of filthy elements and thus water gets underdrained. It then proceeds to the next compartment from where filtered water is ready to access.
Overall, the contaminated water goes through three step steady filtration process where sand and gravel do the crucial step of filtration.
