Dear Ali Rostami,

Turbidity is a measure of the degree to which the water loses its transparency due to the presence of suspended particulates. There is so many ways to reduce turbidity one example is you can reduce turbidity in chromic acid solutions. Turbidity is due to the presence of suspended solids. The solids can get there by over pumping the source (agitating the source area and suspended the surrounding sediments), because the water is already turbid, or because chemical reactions occur after pumping, forming chemical precipitates. In the first situation, changing the pumping rate could markedly reduce turbidity; in the second you need to filter or flocs, in the third you might need to perform chemical treatment to cause precipitation before filtration or to prevent the formation of the precipitates in the first place. As for filtration itself, the granulometry of the suspended particulates, the total suspended particulate load, the nature of the suspended particulates (clays, silt grains, organic matter), and the amount of water being pumped will all be important in determining the best filtration method.

 Following ways

For quick removal

1.       Microfiltration

2.       RO.

3.       zeolite media filter

If you have time then sedimentation/flocculation/activated carbon filter may be used.
