• SanitationRelated: Heavy rain can overwhelm these systems, causing untreated sewage releases.

• Rainwater harvestingCompared with: Rain captured on-site can reduce the stormwater entering combined sewers during rainfall.

• SewerageCompared with: Its joint flows contrast with separate sanitary and storm drainage networks.

• Water supply networkCompared with: It is often confused with water-supply piping, but carries wastewater away rather than drinking water toward users.

• Sewage treatmentRelated: During heavy rain, combined flows can overwhelm plant capacity and cause untreated releases.

• Great StinkRelated: London’s combined drainage conveyed sewage into the Thames, especially when systems overflowed.

• Joseph BazalgetteRelated: Much of his network had to handle London’s sewage and heavy rainfall together.

• London sewer systemRelated: Much of Bazalgette’s network carried rainwater and sewage together.

• Sanitary sewerCompared with: Unlike a sanitary sewer, it combines household sewage with rainfall runoff.

• SewageCompared with: Rainfall can overwhelm these shared pipes and send untreated sewage into waterways.
