Bloom: The Emergence of Ecological Design (2012)

Our waste water infrastructure is aging and often inadequate for new population pressures. This combined with continued pressure to weaken clean water laws in the guise of economic progress is resulting in degraded water systems. This second episode in the Bloom series explores the history of waste water treatment and introduces natural design strategies to help clean our water, reduce our reliance on energy intensive end-of-pipe solutions, and build resilient economies.
