Technical Brief No. 10 dealt with waste stabilization ponds. Whether treatment is in ponds or in sewage plants (with percolating filters for activated sludge) sewage has to be carried in sewerage - a system of sewers.

Sewers are normally circular pipes, although some sewers have other shapes. This Technical Brief includes descriptions of sewage, sewers and sewage design including disadvantages and limitations of sewerage.
