Is it true or false that water in a portable sediment tank is pumped into the outer tank and discharges through the inner tank?

The statement is false because, in a portable sediment tank, water typically enters the inner tank first, where sedimentation occurs, allowing the heavier particles to settle out. The cleaner water then overflows to the outer tank or is pumped to a discharge point. The design of most portable sediment tanks operates on the principle that water flows from the inner tank, which is designed to capture and manage sediment effectively, to ensure that the outflow is as clean as possible. This process optimizes sediment retention and minimizes the risk of re-suspending settled particles, thereby enhancing the water quality of the discharge. The system is intended to allow sediment to settle before water is released, rather than pumping water in the opposite direction as described in the statement.
