Embanking up Future Problems?
In "February 1864 Bazalgetsectionsn building three embankments along the shores of the Thames". ..."He ran the sewers along the banks of the Thames, building up walls on the foreshore, running the sewer pipes inside and infilling around them.[75] The works claimed over 52 acres (21 ha) of land from the Thames".

So, all well and good - or is it? For what is not mentioned is that - by narrowing and confining the Thames - the river is now far more at risk of flooding. Given this, is it possible to mention something about the risk of flooding caused by the 'improvements' to The Embarkment/s? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.163 (talk) 13:02, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * No. Or not here, at least. Maybe on the page for the Embankment. - SchroCat (talk) 14:07, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Down/upriver
"discharged their sewage half a mile (800 m) downstream from their reservoir: the sewage was being carried upstream into the reservoir on the incoming tide" should read instead "downriver" and "upriver". The sewage could be carried upstream but upriver by the incoming tidal stream. 217.41.2.97 (talk) 09:34, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Ageing
, can you please stop edit warring and discuss your changes please. As a start, I will point out again that “ageing” is the correct spelling in British English (the variant in which this article is written). - SchroCat (talk) 07:08, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
