Sanitary engineering, also known as public health engineering or wastewater engineering, is the application of engineering methods to improve sanitation of human communities, primarily by providing the removal and disposal of human waste, and in addition to the supply of safe potable water. Traditionally a branch of civil engineering and now a ...

The Streeter–Phelps equation is also known as the DO sag equation. This is due to the shape of the graph of the DO over time. The biological oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO) curves in a river flowing right reaching equilibrium after a continuous input of high BOD influent is added into the river at x = 15 m and t = 0 s.
The history of water supply and sanitation is one of a logistical challenge to provide clean water and sanitation systems since the dawn of civilization. Where water resources, infrastructure or sanitation systems were insufficient, diseases spread and people fell sick or died prematurely. Astronaut Jack Lousma taking a shower in space, 1974.
