The term sewer<\/strong> arose as the diminutive of alcantara<\/strong>. It is called alcantara, according to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (RAE<\/strong>), to the trunk-type box that, on a velvet loom, is used to store the fabric that is being worked.<\/p>\n

The sewer notion, however, has nothing to do with looms. The concept refers to a sinkhole or underground aqueduct<\/strong> that allows the sewage or rainwater collection<\/strong> to move them through ducts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Manhole<\/p>\n

The sewers collect rainwater.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

History of the sewers<\/h2>\n

It is important to note that in the etymology<\/strong> from sewer appears the word from Hispanic Arabic alq\u00e1n\u1e6dara<\/em>, which alludes to a \"bridge\"<\/strong>. The oldest culverts, in this framework, resembled a small bridge since they consisted of a barrel vault<\/strong> supported by two walls. In this way, he managed to create a channel<\/strong> in the lower sector.<\/p>\n

The oldest sewer system on record was found in Nippur<\/strong>, a old town<\/strong> of the Sumerian culture that is currently part of the territory of Iraq<\/strong>. Based on the remains found, it is estimated that these sewers were built around the 3750 BC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The sewers were born with the aim of promoting the evacuation of rainwater to avoid stagnation and floods<\/strong>. As the populations of the localities began to grow, other needs appeared and thus the sewers began to evolve.<\/p>\n

How do they work<\/h2>\n

The sewers integrate the sanitation systems<\/strong> and enable the evacuation of waters<\/strong>. It is known as sewerage<\/strong> to all the sewers of a neighborhood or a locality.<\/p>\n

Today they usually consist of underground concrete conduits<\/strong> with ovoid or circular cross section. Once the water reaches the sewer and enters through the manhole<\/strong>, meet through branches<\/strong> and they are derived to the so-called collectors<\/strong> (or collector sewers<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\"Conduit\"<\/p>\n

The set of sewers in an area is called sewer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It is important to note that the operation of the sewers is produced by the gravity<\/strong>. On specific occasions, and only for small sections, they consist of pipes that carry out their work by vacuum or pressure.<\/p>\n

The sewer as it slashes<\/h2>\n

The idea of \u200b\u200bsewer can also be used to refer to a chop<\/strong>. It is an infrastructure work that is linked to sewer system<\/strong>, although it has different characteristics than those mentioned above.<\/p>\n

The culvert or cut serves to drain surface waters transversely. What it does is allow the waters to flow under a railroad track, a highway or other type of road creating a kind of bridge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Places in Spain and Portugal<\/h2>\n

Sewer<\/strong> is the name of a municipality<\/strong> which is located in the province of Murcia<\/strong> (Spain<\/strong>). In the area where it is located there were already populations in the 5th century BC.<\/p>\n

Currently Sewer<\/strong> it has more than 42,000 inhabitants. The ferris wheel known as Huerta Wheel<\/strong> or Sewer Wheel<\/strong>; the Terol Mansion<\/strong>; the Convent of the Minims<\/strong>; the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption<\/strong>; and the Hermitage of Our Lady of Health<\/strong> are some of the buildings<\/strong> best known in the region.<\/p>\n

On Portugal<\/strong>, finally, there is a parish<\/em> call Sewer<\/strong>. His population<\/strong> it barely exceeds 2,000 inhabitants.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
