Design a sedimentation basin for a water treatment plant with the following specifications assuming it is required to supply a city with a population of 50,000 people: ● Rectangular or square basin Depth: 7-18 ft Width: 10-50 ft • Detention time: 4-8 hours • Flow through velocity: <0.55 ft/min Overflow rate: 400-1,100 gal/day-ft² Draw a figure to show calculated dimensions. You may consider to use SI units in calculations. Hint: Overflow rate is Flow/Surface Area; Detention time is Volume of tank/Flow rate; and Depth= Volume/Surface area
