MD0161 v CORRESPONDENCE COURSE OF THE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL SUBCOURSE MD0161 WASTEWATER TREATMENT INTRODUCTION Primitive man was confronted with the problem of waste disposal; however, the problem was rather simple in primeval societies. When wastes became unpleasant because of odors and insects, people would simply move away from them. People were few and land was plentiful. As civilizations developed, man began to realize the need for sanitary disposal of human wastes. Ancient civilizations of the Old World have left ruins of wastewater disposal systems dating as far back as 4,000 B.C. Both the Greeks and the Romans built comprehensive wastewater systems, parts of which are still in operation today.
