00:00 On the occasion of World Toilet Day on November 19, American billionaire and philanthropist
00:09 Bill Gates went down a sewer to visit the Sewer Museum in Brussels.
00:13 A video shared by Mr. Gates on Instagram showed him going down a sewer and exploring the hidden
00:18 history of Brussels' sewage system.
00:21 The video captures his interaction with scientists, shedding light on the intricate workings of
00:25 the city's wastewater management.
00:28 According to the researchers, a 200-mile network of sewers and treatment plants process the
00:33 city's waste.
00:34 "I explored the hidden history of Brussels' sewage system and the role of wastewater in
00:38 global health for this year's World Toilet Day," read the caption of the post.
00:43 "I experienced it all at the Brussels Underground Museum, documenting the history of the city's
00:48 wastewater system.
00:49 In the 1800s, the sewage got dumped into the city's Seine River.
00:54 That led to horrible cholera epidemics.
00:56 Today, a 200-mile network of sewers and treatment plants process the city's waste," the text
01:01 in the video read.
01:02 In order to raise awareness about sanitation issues, Mr. Gates has taken part in a variety
01:07 of public stunts, like drinking water from a facial slush in 2015.
01:11 The philanthropist is committed to solving a variety of global issues through his and
01:16 his ex-wife's charity, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
01:19 Notably, World Toilet Day, celebrated annually on November 19, is about inspiring action
01:24 to tackle the global sanitation crisis.
01:27 It has been an annual United Nations observance since 2013, but was first celebrated in 2001
01:33 by the World Toilet Organization.
01:35 This year's theme is accelerating change.
01:37 The World Health Organization says that inadequate availability of water, sanitation and hygiene
01:43 results in 827,000 deaths in low- and middle-income countries each year.
