A batch test on the sedimentation of slurry containing 200kg m (C.) is carried out experimentally where the initial height of sediment zone is 900mm (h,). The following data are assumed as follows: Underflow concentration= 1200kg/m³ Feed flow rate-3m³/min The relation between setting velocity (u) and height of sediment zone (h) can be represented by the following equation: u(mm/min)=0.0178*h - 3.22 Where the h have taken the values: 700,300,260,200 and 180 mm. Graphically, find the critical rate of sedimentation then the cross section area of tank.

b) Dewatering is a term to describe the removal of groundwater or surface water from for example a construction site. In construction the water is pumped from wells or sumps to temporarily lower the groundwater levels, to allow excavation in dry and stable conditions below natural groundwater level. Discuss the following types of dewatering methods normally employed during construction of a building project: I. Open sumps and ditches II. Well point systems III. Deep well drainage
