There is something wrong. Architecture is also about responsibility to society. Cities are for people when we forget and our egos get the better of us, This is the out come. Keep up the good work. Thank you again. Just to congratulate Jill and mike for one great web site

Infrastructures such as sewage and drainage are paid for by the local government which is in no hurry to build such a system for once because of lack of return on investment and secondly because members of it have a stake in the Business of removing waste from those buildings which total in the millions annually.

But in any case, trucking the waste might be labour-inefficient but you can't judge the overall efficiency (and environmental impact) of the system without a proper LCA - and often the results are surprising. A lot of embodied energy goes into any long distance pipeline. 15 tons of wastewater per day seems unrealistically low.

Most modern city's have modern waste treatment plants. The processed solid waste is often trucked to be applied to farmland. There is a wait period before the waste applied land can be used for cultivation for humans. I am glad it is trucked away and not dumped off-shore. I am interested in learning where the waste water is piped. It can be treated for human consumption, but it is often culturally frond upon. The processed water can be used in domestic agriculture or "golf courses." Where does the municipal solid waste of "western" cities go and how is it transported. I seem to be missing the point.
