Sewers and Solutions

The evolution of sewage systems reveals the critical need for sanitation as cities expanded. While Paris boasted one of the oldest sewer systems, many homes remained unconnected well into the 20th century. London's infamous "Great Stink" of 1858 highlighted the dire consequences of inadequate waste management, ultimately leading to the establishment of a proper sewer system. Innovative solutions like sewage farms emerged, transforming waste into a resource for agriculture, showcasing the potential for sustainable waste management practices.
