A video of American billionaire Bill Gates has surfaced in which he is seen going inside the sewer. This video is going viral very fast on social media and the question is being raised that why did such a rich person need to enter the gutter.
It is known that World Toilet Day was celebrated on 19th November and this video is of that occasion. Bill Gates descended into the sewers to visit the sewer museum in Brussels. Billionaire Gates himself has posted this video on his Instagram account. In it he can be seen descending into the sewers and learning about the hidden history of Brussels’ sewage system.
In the video, Bill Gates is seen meeting scientists inside the sewer. During this time he tries to understand about the water waste system of the city. It is known that it is a 200 mile long network of sewers and treatment plants that processes the city’s waste. Gates wrote in the caption of the video, ‘I wanted to know the hidden history of Brussels’ sewage system on World Toilet Day this year. Also tried to understand the role of waste water in global health.
Cholera spread due to sewage water flowing into the river
The post further said, ‘I gained a lot of experiences from the Underground Museum of Brussels. Documenting the history of the city’s water waste system. In the 1800s, dirty sewage water was discharged into the city’s Sene River. Due to this, a terrible cholera epidemic spread. Today there is a 200-mile-long network of sewers and treatment plants that process the city’s waste.’
Let us tell you that Bill Gates seems to be very active in increasing awareness regarding cleanliness. In 2015, he also participated in the program in which plants were set up to make potable water from ‘sewage sludge’. Gates has been seen many times in such programs related to cleanliness and he is also appreciated for this.
