complete ancient system as yet
discovered. Every house was
connected to the street drains,
The main channels were made
of bricks set in mortar and were

used for the covers. House
drains first emptied into a sump
or cesspit into which solid
matter settled while waste water
flowed out into the street drains,
Very long drainage channels
were provided at intervals with
sumps for cleaning. It is a
