Sewers are essential to modern life. From the time of the Ancient Roman aqueducts, running water and clean toilets have, to some degree, been the cornerstone of civilisation.
Despite their importance, few of us understand how they work; we run our taps and flush our toilets, none the wiser of how it all functions.
