Belgrand designed the sewers to the natural incline of the river basin, south east to north west, for gravity to do most of the work. The sewers sloped 3cm to the meter so as not to be too slippery for the sewermen, and all sewer arteries were tall enough to work standing up. The larger ones had paths along side the cunette. 5, record 1, English, - cunette
