Clay particles are released into surface waters by soil erosion. |
These negatively charged particles remain suspended in the water for months or years. |

The clay particles can impart cloudiness (turbidity) to the water and can also act as sites for bacteria to collect and reproduce. |
Clay particles cannot be removed by filtration as the particles are too small they will pass through the pores of common filtration |
|
|
To remove the clay particles it must aggregate and grow in size. |
The aggregation of clay particles cannot occur naturally as the negative charge would repel each other. |
