First, there will be a summary of the variable names included user specified values that were used in the rest of the documentdesign.

Then, there will be an overview of the AguaClara technology which will go through the purification process from beginning to end, describing each step. Specific steps include the chemical doser, rapid mixer, flocculation, the inlet channel, sedimentation, and the exit channel.
Each section will include the design values generated by the design tool (for example, the length of each of the baffles in the vertical flocculator, the number of flocculator channels required, etc)

The complexity of sedimentation requires that it be broken down into the following sections:
1. Inlet pipe
2. Slopes (bottom geometry)
3. Plate settler support frame
4. Plate settlers
5. Plate settler modules
6. Effluent launder
7. Sludge Drains

There will also be a summary of the materials needed for construction.

Finally, there will be a more general discussion of the capabilities of the AguaClara process. This section will discuss why a process that achieves such high turbidity removal without any input of electricity at all whatsoever is truly revolutionary. It will also touch on current research efforts focused on further improving effluent water quality (for example, the development of floc blankets and filtration systems).
