  Sewerage - LoveToKnow 1911
The matter to be dealt:with may conveniently be classified as made up of three parts: (I) excreta, consisting of urine and faeces; (2) slop-water, or the discharge from sinks, basins, baths, andc., and the waste water of industrial processes; (3) surface water due to rainfall.
It may be removed in an unmixed state, either in pails or tanks or (with the aid of pneumatic pressure) by pipes; or it may be defaecated by mixture with dry earth or ashes; or, finally, it may be conveyed away in sewers by gravitation, after the addition of a relatively large volume of water.
In the sewerage of Berlin, for example, the maximum rainfall allowed for is $ of an inch per hour, of which one-third is supposed to enter the sewers.

 Low cost sewerage
Settled sewerage is a means of conveying domestic sewage which has been settled in a septic tank (sometimes referred to, in this context, as a solids interceptor tank) (Figure 1).
The early Zambian settled sewerage schemes were designed on the basis of 100 mm diameter pipes laid at a minimum gradient of 1 in 200 to achieve a velocity at peak flow of 0.3 m/s.
In this design of settled sewerage the sewer roughly follows ground contours and the flow in the sewer is allowed to vary between open channel flow and pressure (full-bore) flow; precautions are taken to ensure that in pressure flow sections there is no flow from the sewer to an interceptor tank.
