Solution

The removal of accumulated matter from the waste water is known as sedimentation.

Explanation:

In the wastewater treatment process, sedimentation (or primary treatment) is the step where wastewater is held in large tanks so heavier, accumulated solids (like sludge, grit, and human waste) can settle to the bottom by gravity, allowing them to be scraped away and removed.
