Historic implication for developing countries of developed countries" water and wastewater technology

INFORMATION FROM LESS DEVELOPED REGIONS ARE INCLUDED IN CERTAIN INSTANCES WHERE IT SEEMED OF INTEREST. THE GENERAL PURPOSE IS TO SHOW THAT CERTAIN HISTORICALLY USED TECHNIQUES IN DEVELOPED REGIONS MIGHT BE APPLICABLE TODAY IN LESS DEVELOPED AREAS. THE IDEA IS TO FIND HISTORICAL EVIDENCE OF ALTERNATIVES FOR THOSE LESS DEVELOPED REGIONS. THE FIRST SECTIONS COMPRISE AN INVENTORY OF HISTORICALLY USED TECHNIQUES, TOGETHER WITH ASSOCIATED HEALTH CONDITIONS. THE SECOND SECTION CONTAINS A DESCRIPTION OF THE CHRONOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF WATER USAGE AND HANDLING IN GREAT BRITAIN, PARTICULARLY LONDON, AND ALSO IN THE UNITED STATES, THESE BEING THE TWO AREAS FOR WHICH THE MOST COMPLETE INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. IN THE LAST SECTION AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO DESCRIBE LIFE-STYLE LEVELS AS A CHRONOLOGICAL CONCEPT IN THE DEVELOPED AREAS. IN ADDITION, LEVELS OF TECHNOLOGY ARE DEVELOPED AS A CHRONOLOGICAL CONCEPT. FINALLY, AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO TIE HISTORICAL TECHNOLOGY LEVELS TO LIFE-STYLE LEVELS.
