Abstract
There is no shortage of solutions to sanitation problems. Ancient records include the admonition in Deuteronomy (21) to bury the stuff, Homer’s eighth-century B.C. Herakles1 diverting a river to flush wastes from the Augeian stables (19), and Socrates’ fifth-century B.C. zoning on night-soil dumping (87). Flushing continues now to the sea. Case studies summarized below are about different responses to dissimilar ecological, hydrographic, historical, and wastewater characteristics. They include estuarine waters of the Yangtze and Thames rivers and of Boston Harbor, the open coastal waters of the Southern California Bight, and the Bosporus and Sea of Marimara portions of the Turkish Straits.
