Abstract
This paper presents a review of the work of the Sanitation Section of the Construction Division of the United States Army. The engineering problems are briefly discussed, and the designs of plants and equipment for the treatment of wastes and sewage in camps and cantonments of the United States Army are described. A comparison is made between the characteristics of municipal sewage and camp sewage, data being presented which show the exceptionally high concentration of camp sewage. Reference is made to special studies that were required to devise means to treat these wastes adequately.
