Clear water can be obtained from a sample of muddy water by the method of filtration. In this method, the sample of muddy water is poured through a cloth having fine pores or through a filter paper. Water will pass through the filtering medium, leaving behind the mud.

yes using filter paper or by sedmentation and decantation

filteration seperates gangue from water

First sedimentation.

Then filtration by filter paper to obtain pure enough water from a sample of muddy water.

I would use processes like1.sedimentation and after that decantation2.filtration.

First the muddy water will be allowed to stand for sedimentation and the clear liquid will be decanted. After this Filteration will be done.

Method:- Take a filter paper and fold it in the form of care and fix it inside the funnel. Pour muddy water slowly in the funnel. Water that pasess through the pores of the filter paper becomes clear and the fine mud particles will remain as a residue on the filter paper.

Clear water can be obtained from a sample of muddy water by the following processes:-(1) Keep the water undisturbed in a beaker for some time. The heavier particles (sediments) settles down. (By process of sedimentation). (2) Pour the clear water into another beaker. (By the process of decantation). Sedimentation and decantation is done to remove larger particles of solid impurities. The process of loading can be used to help the sediments to settle faster in water. Alum is added to water for separating smaller particles. (3) The water is then passed through muslin cloth or sand filters to remove insoluble particles.
