The Water Your Toilet Is Meant to Keep
-
Narrated by:
-
Written by:
The water left in a toilet trap is doing a job. And a clockmaker helped make that possible.
Sam follows the water seal, the inventors behind the modern loo and the Great Stink of 1858. Moving waste out of one room is not the same as solving the problem for a city.
Educational sanitation and design history; discussion of bodily waste, no graphic descriptions or demonstrations.
