Apparently Paris has been using the same sewer system since Napoleon. All the rainwater went into the sewage system, overflowing it and just dumping everything into the river. The new system separates them, with holding tanks for surface water to process over time and no risk of overflowing the sewage lines.
London has been using the same system that Joseph Bazalgette designed in the late 1800s. But we have just built the Thames tidalway giant tunnel to help take the pressure off. We still have massive problems with sewage leaks though 🙈 it's the trouble with older human settlements
@@RumadeI saw something recently talking about all of the wooden water mains under London. I thought it was insane that they still are utilizing such old tech.
I think its pretty hard because they have combined rainwater and house waste water sewers, but yeah they should do it differently for new developments I think, but maybe they do
That’s essentially what it’s about. The irony is that cities that had sewers early on have filthy rivers. Younger cities built their sewer and drain systems separately. This project is supposed to stop rain water from dumping sewerage into the river.
Sure it *could* be done, and obviously the river should be cleaned, but they've got about four months and that's not enough money to do it properly in that timeframe. Either it won't be finished or it will not be done well. They won't have Notre Dame fixed until December, which is much later than originally promised but they are at least caring about quality for that project.
It’s been in the works for a few years already though. Not just four months. But seeing all their failed promises as of now, I really doubt it would be complete in time. It was expected, politicians like to make unrealistic deadlines for projects like these.

But the economics of having 10’s of millions of additional people flooding your city for 16 days will more than make up for the construction costs. If they’re smart about it, those buildings can also be used for other public venues after the fact.

No, just stop discharging human faeces into rivers. With a proper sewage system human waste should be discharged to a cleaning and purification system before being allowed anywhere near a river but that's too complicated for the French who would rather argue over which cafe has the best ham baguette

Once heard a tale about fountains at palace loo in nederland and the louvre At louvre their was a fountain which used the seine and pumps to get it from there and it was not clean The fountain at loo used groundwater from below the veluwe, which is one of the cleanest water sources of europe and the preasure from the groundwater propelled it higher in the air
This reminds me in Belgium, where the Zenne River flows from Brussels to the neighboring city of Mechelen. The river's water levels fluctuate significantly with the seasons and weather conditions. In the 1990s, during summer months when the levels were at their lowest, the Zenne emitted an odor comparable to a cesspool-so overpowering that people would switch their car ventilation on the e-19 highway next to it to recirculate to avoid the stench. We referred to it as Brussels' open sewer, as garbage visibly floated on its surface. Thankfully, the installation of sewage treatment facilities in Brussels has eradicated the smell for decades now. However i would not want to fall in that river that for sure, it might not smell but i would not call it clean.
Wow! That sounds like a shitty mess! Why the hell would anyone allow human feces to be dumped in the river at that scale, over all of those years? This sounds like a crime to me.🤬🤬🤬
Heres my guess on how itll go down: They will partially clean the river but not completely in time, say they cleaned it, people will get sick, and itll be a big scandal
Famously filthy. The Japanese trip advisor rating is 2 stars - but the Japanese are extremely polite so you could probably knock a couple of systs off that rating.
I don't understand why any country would ever want to host the Olympic Games as the cost to put it all together far outweighs the money that will be generated from it.
The biggest problem is the pollution upstream with industries and untreated waste water. In Paris they are get rid of the overflow system, that in case of too much rain/ inundation release the sewer overflow in the river.
Amazing the French are dealing with it for the olympics. That’s a positive thing to come from winning the bid. Bet they don’t make such a big deal out of it as we did for the Thames tideway tunnel!! Just getting on with it
They can clean the river all they want but it wouldn't change the fact Paris would always be a filthy city due to it's people. I hope I would be proven wrong about it someday.
reminds me of that bridge in Korea (seongsu bridge collapse) that they built for the Olympics but they did a really shitty job to be quick and cheap and then it broke down (21 oct 1994)
Currently failing massively. Rowers training on the water got ecoli infections from the water splashing on them…swimming in the Seine? Not a chance in hell!
The long term effects are what is important, not just the Olympics. Obviously there are long-standing problems that led to a century long pollution problem, so a lasting solution requires numerous solutions all the way up river where the pollution starts. One day we will rue the cavalier treatment of our precious freshwater ways.
If China (or was it Japan?) can repair a massive pothole in the middle of one of their busiest intersection within 21 days, then a good 180 days must be enough to clean up that little river right?!
Not true. It was established that fish returned to the Thames 15 years ago. At least the English know how to organise themselves, something the French would do well to learn from 😂😂
Meanwhile London actually fixes the issue with the themes by actually fitting a super drain to stop the need to dump into the river London's super drain estimated cost is £5billion and its due open soon French hold my beer we hide fecal matter in large tanks and dump it after the event FFS 😂

U dumb? The issue isn't "up river" it's the city that's polluting it
Been living in the city for 5 years and let me tell you the amount of construction in the city is unreal.
