    Unreasonable if not done in time. Paris still has century old sewage pipes running to the river. That could have been solved but it needs years.

    Meanwhile in Portugal after investments in water treatment plants all along the Tagus you are starting to see dolphins show up on the river near Lisbon.

      Need years? I’m pretty sure Paris had almost 10 years to figure it out. The Olympics don’t just pop up a year or 2 out.

        In 1988 already Jacques Chirac promised that in a few years everyone will be able to swim in the Seine.

        It did not happened but it shows that there is already decades of work and investments to clean the river and it shows, the Seine is much cleaner today than few decades ago.

        It’s still not perfect but it’s getting there slowly and the Olympics gave a boost to it.
