Sedimentation
Thank you for the excellent and well-referenced edit of the settling basin article. Your well-written information should enable the community of editors on the subject to re-evaluate the present distribution of information within articles on the subject of sedimentation. Conceptually, the physical principles of sedimentation might best be covered in the Sedimentation (water treatment) article. Application of those principles might then best be divided into a clarifier article describing steel or concrete structures including continuous sludge removal machinery and the settling basin article describing earthen or concrete basins lacking chemical addition and requiring periodic removal of accumulated sediment by something like a Loader (equipment). The former category is often used for municipal or industrial water supply and waste treatment, while the latter is more often used for intermittent loading like storm water treatment or temporary structures associated with construction project earthmoving.

At present, clarifier is a redirect to the sedimentation (water treatment) article. I would propose that much of what you have added to the settling basin article might better be used to convert the clarifier redirect to an independent article, while appropriate parts be retained here to describe more primitive applications, and some of the mathematics be added to the sedimentation (water treatment) article. The sedimentation (water treatment) article might similarly be edited to transfer some material belonging in the separated clarifier article.

If you concur, I would be happy to assist you in transferring the material from one article to the other; but I value the artistry of your recent work, and would like you to make an initial determination as to which paragraphs go with which of the three articles:
 * sedimentation (water treatment)
 * clarifier
 * settling basin

I have modified both articles to encourage discussion, and encourage your participation. Thewellman (talk) 01:16, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
