About this clipart

This vintage technical drawing depicts a slow sand filtration system, where raw water enters at the top (labeled 8a), percolates downward through layers of coarse gravel (8b), fine sand (8c), and underlying support layers (7), removing suspended particles and pathogens. The filtered water exits at the base, while surface scum and biological growth (visible as frothy discharge) are periodically skimmed off. Such systems were foundational in municipal water treatment before modern rapid filters emerged.
