Detailed explanation-1: -Filtration is used to separate soil and water in this procedure. The liquid is carefully poured into a funnel lined with filter paper.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sedimentation and Filtration are the techniques used to separate soil from water.

Detailed explanation-3: -When water passes through soil, it is cleaned via physical, chemical and biological processes. In addition to soil’s physical filtration capacity, soil contains important biota that helps transform and decompose certain chemicals and other contaminants from soil, thus helping filter them out of the water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Take a filter paper and make a cone of it. Fit this filter paper in a funnel. Keep a beaker below funnel. Pour mixture of soil and water in funnel. Water will pass through fliter paper and collect in the beaker. Soil will remain on the filter paper in the funnel.

Detailed explanation-5: -A mixture of a liquid and an insoluble solid can be measured by separated by filtration. A filter is used to separate out the insoluble solid. Example: solution of chalk and water.
