Aujourd'hui, il n'est pas une ville de quelque importance qui ne possède de vastes égouts. En général, le collecteur principal reçoit les eaux de rebut des égouts secondaires, qui drainent les rues adjacentes, et déverse ces eaux dans une rivière ou un ruisseau, soit directement, soit par un aqueduc souterrain ou à ciel ouvert [...] Deux grands égouts perpendiculaires à la Seine, ou égouts collecteurs, divisent la ville en plusieurs parties. 5, record 1, French, - %C3%A9gout%20collecteur
