Following steps are required to obtain clear water from muddy water:
1. Allow muddy water to stand undisturbed in a container.
2. After sometime, mud settles at the bottom of the container. This process is called sedimentation.
3. Upper layer is clear water.
4. Pour the clear water gently in another container. This process is called decantation.
5. To remove finer impurities we can filter this water again with the help of filter paper. This process is called filtration.
