Sewage Systems
Subject:
World History [1]
Sewage systems changed the world by helping stop the spread of diseases and making everyday life and activities clean and more convenient. The spread of malaria, typhoid, and yellow fever all were aided by insufficient sewage systems and the development of increasingly modern plumbing have made a drastic change in the rate of death and health throughout civilization. After the creation of sewage systems the world was cleaner and life was more satisfactory. It is obvious how important plumbing was in life even in Roman mythology where there was a goddess of the name Cloacina, the goddess of sewage (Sewer History).
