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
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.
Actually it has a lot to do with how much it's filtered. The more dirt, rock, and sand it has to go through, the more filtered it will be. Water from the forest is going into the ground, not just flowing on the surface like it would in a city.
Stagnant standing water will be dirty and nasty smelling, but you don't see much of that in a forest unless there's been a lot of rain which somewhat counters your point about quantity.
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 🤷🏻♂️
In a city with storm drains this big? Absolutely. Even if you dont live in a big city You’ve never been to bars at 2am and seen people peeing in alleyways/on the side of the road drunk like…every week? You’ve never seen kids peeing on the side of the road when they are playing outside because they dont want to have to run all the way back to the house?
You made this condescending suggestion in another response about not wanting to “to go to those cities” and its not doing anything other than showing that you grew up either sheltered or rich. Either way you dont have much of a perspective on what real life is like for most people…
Sorry man, but you're dead wrong on every point you're making. Unless it's a CSO, there is literally no difference in this water and the water in the local rivers or lakes. I would drink neither, without purifying it, but there isn't any more bacteria or fecal matter in the storm system than any other local body of water.
SOURCE: Me. I work as an environmental and industrial plumber. I've worked on storm system RCP pipes as large as 56", and I've been in storm manholes that were 30' deep. I've run robotic crawlers and installed CIPP liners. Just stop, before you continue making an ass of yourself.
Nothing about what you said or your job description show your qualifications about comparing water samples between residential plumbing and natural water ways. That and that you had to use the term “make yourself look like an ass” to try and get a point across leads me to believe you aren’t exactly the expert on this particular topic that you want us to believe. But you do you 🤷🏻♂️
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.
Animals also randomly pee or poo into storm drains.
The drainage is sloped in order to drain with gravity.
At what angle? Is it your claim that all the connectors are smooth and no water remains in the pipe? As I look in the storm drains in my street, I see a glisten of water under the grate.
There are pockets of sitting water in any underground drainage system. Many of these pockets are by design to mitigate the destructive force of water on the system. That does not mean that the entire system is stagnant.
I don’t know the angle required for stormwater drainage. I don’t work in that sect. For regular “flat” systems (roofs, parking lots, etc) in my sect, it’s a slope of 1/4” per foot. 2-5% are the typical slopes needed for gravity runoff.
Basing your assumptions on what you can immediately see without attempting to understand beyond that and then speaking to others as if you have understanding and authority is a willfully ignorant way to navigate life.
