1 day agoafter 100 years, the river seine becomes paris's summer swimming spot
The reopening of the Seine for public swimming reflects a complex design effort in Paris, extending beyond cosmetic improvements. More than 20,000 homes were connected to upgraded sewer systems to prevent untreated waste from flowing into the river. Engineers constructed large rainwater storage reservoirs able to capture storm runoff equivalent to twenty Olympic swimming pools. These systems help maintain safe conditions for public swimming during heavy rain.
