Centralistic flow-through concepts

History of the central flow-through concept.

Two hundred years ago, the chamber pots where  poured  into a gutter of the street. However, the connection between excrements and illnesses became obvious  At the time  the smell ("miasmatic vaporizations") was thought to be responsible for the illnesses.

Later the toilet (water closet) was invented in England and the 1.5 to 2.5 litres of excrements and urine per person per  day suddenly turned into 40 -50 litres per person per day.

Consequently, sewage had to be drained away. First via open gutters and later it was seeped away into sewage fields. It was then noticed, that the sewage appeared in the spring (groundwater) water, therefore making it necessary to  drained the sewage further away from the settlements and cities. This chain of  isolated solution engineering  of the single problems was the birth of our gigantic sewerage infrastructure, furthermore represented  a taboo. The sewage being poured into concrete ”Out of sight, out of mind”.

Central concepts are very costly

Water cannot be compressed. Due to the intermixing of domestic sewage with industrial waste waters and also often  with rain water drained into the sewers,  gigantic water quantities are transported to the central sewage plants. Some of the sewers are several meters in diameter.

Despite the enormous technical engineering  effort, the centralistic flow-trough system (water à withdrawal à sewage à sewerage à sewage plant à disposal) cannot prevent, what it actually is designed to  do: Drainage of raw, untreated excrements into our surface waters. Thus, the water quality is diluted and contaminated  over and over again. The water quantity is also negatively influenced by the centralistic flow-through concept.

Of course, voluminous sewage systems are very expensive. Hundreds of billions of Euro are buried only in Germany. Maintenance and cleaning of sewerages consume additionally billions per year. In accordance with the water framework directive of the EU commission, the water subsidies must be abrogated by the end of 2007. All costs then must be passed on to the final consumer. In Germany subsidies have already largely been abolished , however other countries - primarily the south European - have to expect a drastic increase in water costs.
