Berlin's Sewage Farms Turn City Waste Into Wealth
Berlin connected most housing to a vast new drainage system sending 60 to 70 million cubic meters of sewage annually to urban farms spanning over 30 square miles. Purchased land totals 30 million marks with 65 million spent earlier, creating a 120 million mark plant.

The system is praised for sanitary success and long term profitability.
