=__**Facts on Roman Waste Management**__= 1. Rome had a public restroom system that used old water as a flushing system. 2. Romans burnt their trash and threw it into the Tiber River which is where they got there water from. 3. The trash in the Tiber River made the water from it undrinkable because of contamination from all the trash in it. 4. They had sewers that drained water into Tiber River or used water for the flushing system. 5. Waste went underground under the Roman empire to be left. 6. Rome was able to cleanse water by using aquaducts that take all of the contaminites out of the water. 7. Rome used old water from fountains in the flushing system too =__Facts on Today's Waste Management__= 1. We have a water cleansing system that is used so we can reuse water. 2. We use composting and recycling to try and use waste agian so it has a use 3. We have landfills which take in trash that can't be recycled or composted to stay 4. We use water from bodies of water and clean them in a water treatment plant 5. Our landfills have liners and leach aid collection system so we don't pollute our enviorment 6. Landfills onlytake in hard demos so they don't overfill 7. We have solid waste landfills that only take in solid waste so they don't overfill Facts 3-7 came from Mrs. Wendell of Forest Green. Thanks!!! =__Questions to ask expert contact__= How does trash sitting in the open hurt your health? What is the health difference in places with a trash collection compared to places without one? What is better for the enviorment recycling or composting? =**__Cited sources__**= "Sanitation in ancient rome." //tebyan//. tebyan, n.d. Web. 7 Feb 2012. [] [] New water affordability law: [] =__Expert Contact Responces__= Scott, this sounds like a good project. I have answered your questions in order. 1)Landfills have a leach aid collection system that collects all the water run off in a pond. The water is treated at a treatment plant. 2)If composting is done correctly, it does not effect the ground water. The composting should be done on a concrete pad or a plastic liner with a leach aid collection system. 3)Moder landfills have proper liners and leach aid collection systems. 4)Forest Greens landfill takes hard demo fill only. We take all of the solid waste we collect to an EPA aproved landfill.On 07.02.2012 07:07, Scott Wolfe wrote: Dear Forest Green Waste My name is Scott Wolfe and I'm a student at Nagle Middle School in Cincinnati.
