Sewersheds and Septic Systems

Water is part of an integrated system worldwide. What happens downstream? Consider waste water--from home and from manufacturing--that is corrupted by use, disposed of, treated (or not), and returned to the water system. Where wastewater has historically been planned as an afterthought, we must now consider its downstream effects and the long term implications of the water supply for human health and survival.
