Mr. N, Thanks for that info. What I really find incredible is that 100 years ago people dug holes in the ground for their shit and the lakes and waterways stayed safe to swim in. Now we have huge sewage SYSTEMS. Computer run and sophisticated. State-of-the-Art. And with all this sophistication and high tech systems what do we get? Shit! In the creeks and lakes. In the rivers. In the freakin' OCEAN!! You have to be afraid to eat seafood for fear of what's in it. I would NEVER eat fish from a small lake. No freakin' way!! I'm not exactly a seafood lover anyway, but even if I was, I'd reconsider it.
Yep. Modern technology is certainly making the world a better place alright!

The population of the USA in 2013 was about 316,179,225.
The population of the USA in 1913 was about 97, 225, 000.
With the population rising about 1 % a year, and the sanitation standards increasing so that the average person directly and indirectly consumes about 150 litres per day.
The public sanitation system needs to process all of the water from individual usage, as well as industrial manufacturing and food production.
