That was a fine summary of a septic system, Mr. Beagles, and I like the fact that electricity is not required if the elevations are correct. Modern day waste treatment and water management are nothing short of miraculous, I think.
And then I think of the aqueducts built by the Romans and my mind wobbles. Those guys were smart, really smart, and I have no idea how they sat down and figured it out. There must have been a lot of math involved but have you tried doing advanced calculations with Roman Numerals? Aghh! Can such feats be accomplished today with the same tools and techniques of past millennia? Where do you begin (besides having thousands of slaves at your disposal)?
