Politicians do have a habit of overpromising as you mentioned, but it looks like they might succeed. Nothing like having the whole world watching and the billions of euros that an event like the Olympics generates to get them to finally move forward. My only question is, can they keep it going or will people again start using it as an open air waste disposal site and it be allowed to slip back into the polluted past?

@BruneSixtine 2 месяца назад

Of course politicians have this bad habit to not keep their promises. On the other hand people aren't responsible of the pollution in the Seine, they don't use it as an open waste disposal, the vehicles thrown into the Seine are borderline criminal activities. The fecal matter present in the Seine happens because of the sewer system which is too old, it's one of the world first system built in the 19th century. The main problem is that it's connected directly with the rainwater system. To solve this there are two parallel efforts, the separation of the 2 systems, and the creation of security tanks to collect rainwater in case it rains too much, so the rainwater wouldn't be evacuated into the sewer system and overflow into the Seine. The heavy costs are an investment, a useful one on the long term if the Seine river stays clean after the olympic games. Only a big flooding would pollute it again I guess.

It's just too risky to swim in it outside of these official pools.

@x--. 2 месяца назад

Which do we think it is? Is it a wide 50m x 34m pool and the graphic is wrong or is it a deep 50m x 34m pool and the voiceover is wrong? I'm unsure, feels like pumping a deeper pool is more difficult but a wider pool takes more space. Hm?

@jordanmntungwa3311 2 месяца назад

similar solution to Japan's flooding problem but what took them take so long to implement the reservoir solution. Politics probably. I mean it's just a super large tank to catch the run off and then release it slowly so it doesn't flood the river. I'm sure French Engineers had suggested this a long time ago. It's now that there's Olympicsthat the poop matters. IN my country the most recent and modern rail system was built in 2010 to help foreigners move between Football stadiums for world cup. There was no development of public transport before and after the world cup. we still don't have trains

French here, these Olympic Games are for us the worst thing that could happen. French government has been literally pressing us from everywhere these years. Tbh most of us don't even know they are building this. They don't really communicate about it (because we all know it won't work) and because at this price when half French are under poverty, they cut all government help to students, single parents, electricity raised, rent raised. We don't want these games in our country. They plan to make public transport between x2 and x3 for the period.. but we all know it will end up to be the new price because "people can pay" You know how much is an Airbnb night in Paris during the game actually ? From 700€ to 2000€ a night. Most French don't earn 1500€ a month.

@MIKERUPTION 2 месяца назад

If I were an Olympic swimmer, I'd be a bit concerned that the officials are more worried about forcing the events to be in the river instead of mentioning anything about "as long as it's safe for the swimmers' health." Maybe the newspaper took the quotes out of context.

This is common in older areas of most North American cities, and it's the long term plan in many places to separate sewers, but it's a massive and expensive effort that will take decades. I'd be surprised if no EU cities had combined sewers in older areas.

During the test events held in 2023 many of the athletes got sick, despite official tests by the event were below defined levels. Regular tests performed the same day by the water management that are done all year round showed levels way above set thresholds. So I guess they still have a long way to go and risking the health of Olympic athletes should not be an option.
