Water Bodies
Many cities were not built near rivers and lakes, so people were given the answers to their questions – why were tunnels built for waste removal? During the early 14th century, laws were made by the English Parliament that anyone who was caught dumping waste in the lakes and rivers would be charged high taxes.

But, by the time these laws were implemented, it was already a bit too late. The water bodies were already contaminated by human waste, and other debris people would just throw in. The spread in diseases like water-borne illnesses was a major cause for concern, so the bathrooms we have now are a blessing in disguise.
