===Krotuc===
[[File:Krotuc.jpg]]

The Krotuc of Zedal is an unusual structure for an archeology.  It is isolated from the surrounding metropolis but at the same time is an active part of it. 
====Refuse====
The Krotuc grew out of a region near the river Junsart that was used as a refuse center.   A major attempt to clean the area caused the growth of the Krotuc.  The area around the structure was gentrified and remade to a fashionable residential area and the rive itself was cleaned.

Underground piping brought liquid and semi-liquid refuse to purification systems built structure.  Solid waste is shipped in industrial underground rail systems.  The rail systems are not technically public but in practice many people use the personnel moving parts of the waste movers to cross the metropolis, avoiding the crowded subway system.  The solid waste is compressed for transportation at region processing facilities around the metropolis. 

Recycling is an extremely important part of the Zedal's people.  The Krotuc exports purified materials as water, fertilizer, pressed paper pulp, block plastics, block rubber, pressed sheet woods, bricks, sand, glass sand, pressed fabrics, and other similar end results. 

Totals for incoming refuse and outgoing products is closely monitored.  

====Energy====
The Krotuc uses a nuclear energy system that produces vast amounts of electrical energy.  Far more then the structure itself can use despite the many processes going on.  The structure exports the energy to the power grid for the metropolis.

====Water====
As noted water purification is a big part of the Krotuc's efforts.  The river itself is funneled through layers of the Krotuc's works up and down the length of it of hundreds of miles.  The water purification system is a big part of the perception of the usefulness of the Krotuc.  It is one element of the structure being exported around the world as smaller versions of the Krotuc are being built.

The '''''Grounds''''' is the mile surrounding the Krotuc that is a lush public park and recreational facility.

====Commercial and Personal Air Travel====
The Krotuc dominates the western portion of the Zadal metropolis.  It was something of a surprise but the 4 top towers, each a mile square, and the lower area between them developed into air centers for delivery and shipping of refuse and products.  in time regular commerce shipping developed.  Since hover planes are the norm it became easy to land on the Commerce Towers. Personal transportation to and from Zadal was an easy transition.  Travelers catch subway access on the roof and travel to all districts of the metropolis.
