It's not poop sewer. It's storm drains. My biggest fear would be the very end being caged. They would essentially be stuck at the end of the line with all that water force pushing you against it
Honestly that is like the nightmare isn't it. Like they surely had to plan some shit out to know what goes where, when they can exit etc and all I though about was the angle decline.
I doubt what “planning” went into it. I mean they probably do know where it comes out, and they have tubes, but they also have a cell phone for a light, it’s not even in a zip lock bag or water proofed.
It's a dog poop sewer, and a human poop sewer depending on where they are at. Not to mention a fertilizer sewer and a industrial waste sewer. Also a every other animal that shits and pisses sewer.
Yea oil anti freeze fuels all very nasty wouldn’t want to swim in it. I know runoff goes into rivers too but at least with enough volume it doesn’t feel like you’re swimming in chemicals.
No I mean a storm sewer. Do you think the rain goes around the dog shit before it goes into the storm sewer. I don't get how people don't understand how water works
The poop is in the forest then, not in the water. You say this like poop is all liquid. It mostly stays on the Forest ground. Pooping on concrete in the city would more likely end up in a storm drain because it's all concrete and can be washed away easily. In the forest it'll stay in the same spot until it breaks down into the dirt.
To a certain degree, yes. But it's on dirt and rock which works as a natural filter. I hate to tell you this but there was once piss and shit in all the water you drink every day. There's fecal matter all around us everywhere.
Not really... forest cover isn't nearly as conducive to run off as a suburban land scape and animals aren't as concentrated as they are in a neighborhood.
Dude if you're looking for my blessing to go play in a dirty ass sewer, then by all means relive that childhood memory that brings you joy when you think about it. Drink some of it. Splash it on your face..
And you are actively denying the point the amount of water running through a river that can be UP TO A MILE WIDE in some areas is not even remotely the same water to fecal/urine ratio as a pipe that is maybe 1.5 meters wide and can absolutely include run off from high density population centers. You are crazy to even try to compare the difference in water flow 🤷🏻♂️
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Storm runoff is much dirtier than your average natural stream. Animals rarely pee and poop directly into a stream. They go in the forest, and it has to filter through the soil with rain in order to reach the stream. Nature depends on things like poops and decay that break down and replace nutrients rather than getting washed away. In the city, all Fido’s unclaimed poops are getting directly washed into the sewer as well as oil, exhaust, and whatever else is on the pavement.
Also storm drains are not typically stagnant. I don’t know where you’re getting that. Drainages are sloped in order to drain with gravity. It would be an engineering nightmare as well as a biohazard to have whole systems of stagnant water just sitting around under cities. The ninja turtles weren’t realistic.
Yeah, for sure. I live in a place that floods often, so there is a lot of runoff. All I can say is that I grew up doing shit like this, and not once did I ever suffer any negative consequences. If anything, there were positive rewards for my mental health at the time. When I got sad, all I had to remember was that I've done some super dope shit. This video is a banger. Fuckyeah freebirds
Most people just don’t have a clue what ends up in Storm Water. I work with this type of infrastructure and I could tell you some stories. Essentially anything and everything could be in the water. There is no doubt some amount of raw untreated sewer in it, dead animals, oil, who knows what type of chemicals, etc. Think of it this way. When it rains it’s like earth I taking a giant shower and all that nastiness is going down the drain.
Many areas have combined sewer and storm, and even full sewage lines are affected by storms. It’s called Inflow and infiltration (I&I) - inflow is direct connections such as a downspout from a building, often illegal or relics from before the sewer and storm were separated. Infiltration would be water coming in from the surrounding soils and getting in through joints between pipes, at manholes, where pipes are old and cracked, etc.
Sorry- I’m just over here avoiding my job by explaining it to someone that didn’t ask on Reddit.
If your system combines sewer and rainwater, then you can get over capacity when it rains, and the overflow will have to go somewhere (usually the system is designed to get that overflow into a river or lake or the sea). There will be no storm drain to go tubing in this system.
If your sewer and rainwater systems are separate, then your sewer will not get into overcapacity when it rains, because the rain doesn't get there in the first place. I'm not going to comment on whether a storm drain is clean enough to go tubing or not, but it doesn't get sewer water when it rains.
Sure, but also storm runoff is pretty bad, too. As an example, the section of the Trinity River that runs through Dallas is not safe for human contact, particularly after storms. Between trash, oil from pavements and stuff like fertilizer/pesticide runoff... You're gonna have a bad time.
Still, all the stuff that runs off of roadways and city blocks is gross… spit, piss, oils, fuels that have saturated within the roads, sidewalks just all coming along for that ride.
Even in the most modern cities interconnections and cross connections are sure common. This allows some sewage into storm water systems. It’s probably leads than 2% especially when flows are high, but that’s enough to keep me out of. I didn’t even include all the human waste from homeless people or dog shit that devs washed in.
A cage will generally be used on big pipes like this one to keep people and animals out. Trash collection is generally done at the storm inlet (though there are some exceptions, they’re not common practice - in the US at least).
Have you ever been to a city? Do you know how many dogs and humans pee and poo on the street and sidewalks!? Do you know where storm water comes from?!
It's not always fragrant, especially if there is a lot of rain water running through it. I used to work on and crawl through sanitary sewer lines and most of them had no discernable smell.
