A water flocculation tank using over-and-under baffles is to treat 15 MGD (657 L/s) and is to be 29 ft (8.84 m) long and 13 ft (3.96 m) wide. The water depth is to be 12 ft (3.66 m). The tank has 15 baffles; each is to be 4 in. (100 mm) thick. Assume you as an engineer were asked to check the above flocculation basin design. In your opinion how will this unit perform? Give your reasons and explain why.
