Answer:

Filtration

Explanation:

The separation technique used is filtration, which consists of separating solid particles, in this case soil particles, from a liquid (water), making use of a material called a filter or mesh. The technique consists of pouring the mixture to be treated on the mesh that allows the water to pass through but that retains the soil particles.
