Summary "Practical Methods of Sewage Disposal for Residences, Hotels and Institutions" by Henry N. Ogden and H. Burdett Cleveland is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the technical and practical approaches to sewage disposal in residential and institutional settings, highlighting the importance of sanitary engineering in handling waste management. Topics include various sewage treatment methods, their construction, and maintenance while addressing the growing necessity for adequate sewage systems due to increasing sanitary standards. The opening of the book introduces the pressing issue of sewage disposal, contrasting rural methods with urban practices, and emphasizing the evolution of public health concerns. It presents the hazards of cesspools and the deficiencies of traditional sewage solutions, advocating for engineering-led approaches to sanitation. The text highlights the role of bacteria in waste treatment, setting the foundation for discussing more complex systems such as settling tanks, sub-surface irrigation, and the conditions necessary for effective sewage purification in the chapters to follow.
