Expert Solution
Step 1: Formula used:
To calculate the SDI, we use the following formula:
SDI = (1 - Ti / Tf) * 100 / Tt
where:
- Ti is the initial time required to filter a fixed volume of water (in minutes)
- Tf is the final time required to filter the same volume of water (in minutes)
- Tt is the total test time (in minutes)
The SDI value is unitless and represents the percentage
