Coagulation
I am not sure if I understood your question but mostof the water treatment systems need coagulation which is a very important step. When you have turbid waters you should investigate the origin of this turbidity and many times it is also associated with colors problems and again in this case coagulation plays an important role in the treatment. In your case if turbidity is only due to sediments or silt a pre sedimentation can be useful but I do not believe that it will avoid coagulation step. Besides that normally coagulation is followed by other unit operations.
