The River Seine is already suitable for bathing two days out of three on average in the summer, but Paris is hoping to further improve the water quality as next year's Olympics loom.
The primary goal is to make the Seine batheable by 2025, and the Games served as a huge boost, even though some sporting events were cancelled last summer because the health standards were not met following rare heavy rains and a sewer problem.
"The amounts of rain we had had not been (seen) since the 1970s," Pauline Lavaud, the Paris mayor's advisor on energy and climate transition, water and maintenance of public spaces, told reporters.
