Phosphorus and other unwanted substances that make the water look muddy or murky can be reduced by the addition of chemicals that cause them to settle out of the water. Alum (aluminum sulphate) and ferric chloride are often used for this purpose. This chemical precipitation process is mainly used in water treatment plants (see flocculation).
