Innovative and indirect treatments of surface water start with the different processes of purification and could be holistically achieved. The steps entail the removal of suspended solids/particles from the surface water, barricading the water intake so that fishes and other aquatic animals can be prevented from entering the treatment processes. From the barricading point, comes coagulation and flocculation which causes destabilization of suspended particles in suspension and agglomerating them together into large clumps respectively. Once agglomerating is done, the next stage can occur much more quickly.Sedimentation/Clarification is what happens when the solid clusters from flocculation gain enough mass that they settle to the bottom of the tank in a liquid/solid separation.
