The provided diagram demonstrates the construction of a simple water

filter as well as its function to produce potable water. It is noticeable


that water is treated through 5 main steps, starting with impure water
and finishing with drinkable water from the tap.

The system consists of 2 separate tanks connected with each other


through a tube. The top of the first tank is covered by a thin round lid
and its bottom half is filled with 3 layers of substances, namely, sand,
charcoal, and gravel. The second tank serves as a storage container of
filtered water with a built-in tap.

At the beginning of the process, raw water is poured into the first tank.
After that, the water goes down through the sand layer, charcoal layer,
and gravel layer in chronological order. The waste from impure water
is trapped within the given layers, enabling the process of removing
impurities from water. Subsequently, filtered water is transferred to
the second tank for storing purpose through a conduit. At this stage,
water is ready for use and can be dispensed by using the tap.(183 words)
