We could incorporate the principle of future-proofing into infrastructure designs as a basic standard... but we don't, because there seems to be a mentality of "make work" for the future, where we consider it more important to have jobs for people to do and to keep ourselves more consistent in pace of the economy or of growth... than to future proof things so they don't have to be worked on again for a long time. The daily cycle of jobs and money-flow keeps it so that we don't want to solve things on a long-term basis. We want a reason to keep the money flowing and the employment motivated, much like Apple scheduling the rollout of certain features over a number of years, so they have a reason to release a new version every year... or like Republicans wanting to campaign on the "border crisis", but not wanting to actually vote for a bill that solves it, because they want to have that issue to campaign on for as long as possible... we often see major projects broken up into "phases" or done in a "bare minimum for now, expanded in a few years when we need to" approach, to keep projects providing work and reason for funding for years to come. It's the same mentality that has created our disposable consumerist society, with everything designed to make you have to buy a new one again and again. We could just spend more money now (but less money overall in the long term, which capitalists will see as a long-term bad) and get it all done in one phase by hiring a lot of people to work on it at once, etc... but then what after? All those extra people hired to get it done faster are left without work afterwards, and there isn't always gonna be a major infrastructure project going on if we don't stagger ourselves and pace things out, so they might not have any projects to move onto. And now the money is spent, so how do we keep a consistent and/or ever-increasing amount of money flowing over a long-term period if it all gets spent in one lump-sum at once and then comparatively little-to-nothing for years in-between major projects? Under the current system, we seem to gravitate more towards doing things slower with smaller crews that can provide employment over a longer period and keep the flow of money more consistent and increasing over the long-term... time spent waiting for important projects to finish, be damned. A lot could be different if we didn't set up our entire economy/society around needing to be employed, or always allowing the money men to make the decisions.

@@jamesardron Oh for goodness sake's, grow a brain. Combined sewerage outflows (CSOs) are in no way the product of privatised water management. We had 100+ years of nationalised water industry management that pumped so much raw sewage straight into the sea that the EEC prosecuted the UK; the nationalised industry didn't bother repairing or replacing the old Victorian cast iron pipes, even after 1976 when your bath water was restricted to 4 inches & standpipes in the street became a thing, hose pipe bans were a regular feature of an English summer; CSOs were common & normal, no-one ever gave a damn. Many EU countries don't even bother to measure the amount of sewage that is released in CSOs. It is only because the industry is privatised that it has become a topic. Note the phrase "since 2020". If they were to be truly representative they would measure from, say, 1970. But they can't, since no-one bothered measuring CSOs in the 70's. The privatised industry fixed the raw sewage into the sea problem that they inherited from the nationalised industry. The privatised industry have replaced enough of the old leaking pipes that hose pipe bans are now rare and localised. This video shows that it is the privatised industry that is fixing the CSO problem that was again inherited from the nationalised industry. Governments have far too many other ways to bribe voters with other people's money, basic infrastructure gets to be neglected.

Due to EPA mandate, Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) projects are being implemented all over the USA for all sizes of cities. In Indiana, communities with CSOs were required to develop and implement what is referred to as a Long Term Control Plan, or LTCP. Control strategies that are aimed to significantly reduce or eliminate raw sewage discharge to the rivers and streams primarily include either reduction strategies (e.g. separating sanitary sewers from storm sewers, installing green infrastructure, etc) or storage/treatment strategies (e.g. inline or offline storage followed by wastewater treatment). The ecological, recreational and cultural benefits over the next 100 years are going to be quite impressive.

The nationalised water industry pumped so much raw sewage straight out to sea that the UK was prosecuted by the EEC (as was). The only reason that people care so much is simply because the UK water industry is privatised. The nationalised water industry never bothered to replace the Victorian cast iron pipes, even as your bath water was restricted to 4 inches in 1976 & hose pipe bans were a regular feature of an English summer. The nationalised water industry didn't care about CSOs. It is the privatised industry that has fixed the raw sewage out to sea problem; it is the privatised industry that fixed leaking Victorian pipes, hose pipe bans are now rare & localised; it will be the privatised industry that will fix the CSO problem. Governments will never spend enough money to fix CSOs, there are far too many other ways to spend someone else's money to buy votes.

Thanks to this non-stop movement of the water, the sediment is continuously suspended in the water column giving it its trademark brown colour.

The fact that sewage and water from downpour is mixed inside the Bazalgette sewer system makes it prone to overflow. The better solution for London would be to seriously consider, design and install separate systems for sewage and rainwater. That would allow for rainwater to just flow towards or into the Thames and would avoid the costs of an enormous sewage treatment plant, which is needed to filter all the mixed sewage this pipe will generate, before it is clear enough to be set on its way to the aquifer. Not to speak of the enormous costs of maintenance and continuous processing of sewage water which will take place in this treatment facility. Plus, what’s going to happen when there a years of lower levels of precipitation and this pipe and the consecutive treatment plant fall dry? Maintenance costs will still be absolutely necessary, drought will seriously impede the treatment processing and further increase the cost of treatment facility. It’s nothing but a bet on the wrong horse, as it is doubtful if this pipe will indeed create a sustainable solution for London’s problem of sewage overflow. There simply isn’t a pipe with a large enough diameter which can process the amount of water an atmospheric river can generate on the roofs and roads of London, which will mean the system will still be prone to overflow even when this pipe and its treatment plant are fully operational. Cheerio
@DaveHart-G5 ай бұрын
Quite correct. First step is segregation of contaminated water from clean water. Storm water is not always clean, but it is cleaner than domestic sewage and should be kept separate. Segregating a combined system will be very disruptive and expensive, but is ultimately the right thing to do. In this case, what goes into the new sewer is overflow from the existing system. So should be diluted sewage assuming that overflow occurs only when storm water loads are very high.
