Mankind has known since time immemorial how important a source of clean, fresh water is to a settlement. What we often fail to realize is why exactly are these things so important, and the advances of modern science finally give us the answer - because of disease. Thus what the Romans did finally acquires sense for the modern man, rushing to build yet another factory. But even more importantly, Sanitation shows that there is an invisible world of tiny life out there, which can and should be studied.

- Apart from sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, roads, the fresh water system, and public health ... what have the Romans ever done for us?

abstract
| - Mankind has known since time immemorial how important a source of clean, fresh water is to a settlement. What we often fail to realize is why exactly are these things so important, and the advances of modern science finally give us the answer - because of disease. Thus what the Romans did finally acquires sense for the modern man, rushing to build yet another factory. The development of sanitation in the Industrial Era shows the benefits of being clean and avoiding disease to one's population. As the head means of achieving this in ever-growing metropolises, the Sewer system is invented. And, on the field, the Medic unit can now help soldiers survive their non-mortal wounds, which could otherwise prove mortal after all. But even more importantly, Sanitation shows that there is an invisible world of tiny life out there, which can and should be studied.
