Abstract

Based on a case study, the importance of a constant assessment of water treatment processes is emphasized, with particular attention to sedimentation. The survey of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the sedimentation basin and the systematization of a large data base of water quality monitoring, allowed the confirmation of beneficial effects from interventions carried out during the period of this study: procedures of sludge removal and the sedimentation basin’s leveling.
