Voice 1: So, little by little the community began to build sewer channels. These sewer channels collected human waste. The channels carried the waste away from the toilets in people's homes to a safe area. In this area the waste could not reach food or water sources. Soon, the whole community had sewer channels leading waste away from their homes. And do you know what happened?
声音1:于是,社区开始一点一点地修建下水道。这些下水道收集人类的排泄物。下水道把居民家中厕所里的排泄物运到安全的地方。在这个地区,排泄物不会接触食物或水源。很快,整个社区都让下水道将排泄物带离住宅。大家知道发生了什么吗?
Voice 2: Well, in this community the death rate for babies dropped. When the project started, thirteen percent of babies would die. After the community finished, the death rate dropped to just four percent! The new toilet system helped to save some of the most helpless members of the community — babies!
