Untreated sewage leads to poor sanitation and disease around the world. Its effects are felt strongly in India, and Bangalore resident Tharun Kumar turned to cows for a solution.

With help from the Biomimicry Institute, he has designed and built 50 sustainable sewage plants that work in a similar way to a cow鈥檚 stomach. The system has no moving parts, so doesn't require any power or people to operate it.
