Settling is a process by which particulates settle to the bottom of a liquid and

form a sediment. Particles experience a force, either due to gravity or due to

centrifugal motion and tend to move in a uniform manner in the direction
exerted by that force.Settling tanks are used for separating solids or oil from
another liquid. In food processing, the vegetable is crushed and placed inside of
a settling tank with water. The oil floats the top of the water then is collected.

oxygenation can be important to the sustainability of a particular ecosystem. Insufficient oxygen may
occur in bodies of water such as pondsand rivers, tending to suppress the presence of aerobic
organisms such as fish. Deoxygenation increases the relative population of anaerobic
organisms such as plants and some bacteria, resulting in fish kills and other adverse events. The net
effect is to alter the balance of nature by increasing the concentration of anaerobic over
aerobic species.
Oxygenation by water aeration can be part of the environmental remediation of a
usually stagnant body of water.
Filtration is any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations that separate solids from
fluids by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass. The fluid that passes through is
called the filtrate. In physical filters oversize solids in the fluid are retained and in biological filters
particulates are trapped and ingested and metabolites are retained and removed. However, the
separation is not complete; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and filtrate will contain
fine particles. Filtration occurs both in nature and in other systems.

chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to water. This method

is used to kill certain bacteria and other microbes in tap water as
chlorine is highly toxic. In particular, chlorination is used to prevent
the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery,
and typhoid. Chlorination is one of many methods that can be used to
disinfect water.
Tolerance is a moral virtue best placed within the moral domain but unfortunately it is often
confounded with prejudice. Much of the psychological research about tolerance generally
and about the development of childrens understanding of tolerance of others who are
different from them has been examined through research about prejudice and not through the
moral domain.

Tolerance is a moral obligation or duty which involves respect for the individual as well as
mutual respect and consideration between people. Tolerance between people makes it
possible for conflicting claims of beliefs, values and ideas to coexistence as long as they fit
within acceptable moral values.
Gender equality is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless
of gender, including economic participation and decision-making and the state of valuing
different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender.

While the world has achieved progress towards gender equality and womens empowerment
including equal access to primary education between girls and boys, women and girls
continue to suffer discrimination and violence in every part of the world.
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a
peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.

Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and
representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable
economies and benefit societies and humanity at large.
