"How did Paris pull this off? The city’s been working on cleaning up the waters here for decades. Paris’s canals here were once unsurprisingly filthy, running as they do through a former industrial area once packed with cargo barges and polluted by sewage. Since the 1980s, however, regulations managing industrial run-off have tightened substantially, while Paris has invested heavily in wastewater treatment and in preventing sewage from being discharged into the canal during periods of high water. Two years ago, following a concerted clean-up, bacteria levels dropped below safe levels, and rogue bathers have been jumping in the water here for a while. Meanwhile, the Canal Saint Martin, which runs downstream from the basin down to the Seine, was entirely drained and cleaned in 2016, a process that sent a powerful visual message to Parisians that the area’s historic filth was being swept away."
But thank you for agreeing that you HE things we love are now illegal. HE things?

And speak for yourself! I, personally, love clean and beautiful rivers that I can visit a lot more than the idea of having my house right next to a river that's been turned into a slog heap. to each their own I guess! This whole article isn't about the river it's about the canal - two different pieces of water. There aren't many canals that occur naturally, those concrete walls are kinda necessary... Gemma Fairless I know. I've seen the canals they are kind of cool. Rivers can be similar, if people will get out of their own way. From the 1950's to the mid-60's, Lake Washington received effluent from sewage treatment plants and suffered blue-green algae blooms. The water was cloudy, stinky, unswimmable and fish populations declined.
The lake is now clear and swimmable. Fish have returned and are edible, despite population around the lake increasing from 700 thousand to 1.4 million.
Without the environmental movement, the lake would still be a stinking mess.

There are thousands of examples like this. Marjorie Carlson So despite a huge number of properties built before regulation directly in the shoreline the Lake is healthy now? Perhaps the regulations should focus on discharges rather than keeping people away from water. Ryan Borman Reno, Chico, to name a few have just that. Who really wants a concrete banked river anyways? Kinda pointless unless for flood control. Dave Tilney It's erosion control so the banks and buildings next to the water aren't undermined. That building pattern is traditional and associated with success. Most of the great cities of Europe are built that way. Well, We get to DUMP COAL ASH AND WASTE and BI-PRODUCTS from TOXIC industries into OUR rivers and lakes! Trump just signed an EXECUTIVE ORDER allowing it! Yippee! Remember the utter irredeemable shitshow that cleaning the waters of Rio was? In comparison, this shows what government can succeed in when it has its shit together. Idk about you guys but I don't remember that water looking very enticing! I feel slimy just thinking about it 😂😂still would be a cool experience tho. Instead of blanket bans on swimming in our waterways, lakes, reservoirs etc safe spaces and advice should be provided so we can enjoy them. I've always swam in canals and rivers from being a nipper. Best memories I have. When I was a kid, my family travel the canals of Europe for a couple of months I bought as a holiday. We were mortified to see that people would take their full green garbage bags and just hurled them over the side of their boat into the canal.
