aeriation
Aeration is the process of increasing the contact between air and a liquid. This is typically achieved by introducing air bubbles into the liquid or by agitating the surface of the liquid to allow for better atmospheric exchange. Aeration plays a crucial role in various natural and industrial processes. In nature, it is fundamental to aquatic ecosystems where dissolved oxygen in water is essential for the survival of fish and other aquatic organisms. Natural aeration occurs through wave action, waterfalls, and the photosynthesis of aquatic plants.
In industrial applications, aeration is employed in wastewater treatment plants to promote the growth of aerobic
