Title says it all really. I've found that sewage systems and water waste disposal are one of those things often overlooked in Fantasy. Despite my research into the topic, there also doesn't have a lot of information regarding it in relationship to non-urbanized societies; at least none that I have been able to find. (There is a lot, however, for urban environments. Greece and Rome are the two I see discussed most, but you can definitely find more about other ancient cities too)
Basically as far as I can get is, they used rivers. But that doesn't tell me what I want to know. How did they use rivers? How did they distinguish between grey-water waste and black-water waste? How did they avoid over polluting the river for those downstream, did they avoid polluting the river for those downstream? What about those people who didn't live near rivers, what did they do?
If anyone has done research into this topic, I would love to learn what you've found. Plus if you're good at research, I'd deeply appreciate if you'd consider looking into the topic; for any who want to take on the challenge I would gladly share the books I've found related to the topic (assuming I can find what I did with them)
