Synopsis
A Digest Of Facts Relating To The Treatment And Utilization Of Sewage by William Henry Corfield. This comprehensive treatise surveys the history, methods, and economics of sewage management in the 19th century, dividing the subject into removal (treatment) and practical use (utilization) of waste matter. It chronicles early practices such as midden-heaps and open cesspools, notes the health hazards posed by filth and polluted water, and surveys innovations—from improved midden pits and covered cesspools to dry earth closets and water-closets. The author discusses sewerage design, ventilation, flushing, and the distinction between pervious drains and impervious sewers. The work discusses the sanitary and economic implications of sewage on rivers and drinking water, and critiques attempts to profit from excreta via lime processes, poudrette, or dry-earth systems. The text compiles extensive empirical evidence, including cholera and typhoid outbreaks and the sanitary effects of sewer improvements, with Appendices summarizing composition and the utilisation prospects of excreta.
