As the population grew and more people moved into the cities, the Victorians discovered they had a bit of a problem with their drains. In London, 1858, the smell of raw sewage became so unbearable that parliament gave Joseph Bazalgette £3 million to build a network of sewers that still keeps the capital stink-free today. Keeping a clean, plentiful and unpolluted water supply can still be a problem today, so we imagined we were Victorian engineers faced with a river polluted by sewage. Check out our filter systems which turned all our dirty water CLEAN! #photos #filter
