Article: « De Paris à Washington, la difficulté à rendre les cours d’eau urbains baignables »
Response:
The article discusses the challenges faced in making urban waterways swimmable, from Paris to Washington. The main difficulties include the presence of pollutants such as heavy metals, chemicals, and bacteria from sewage and wastewater. Additionally, the infrastructure of many cities was not designed with swimming in mind, making it difficult to create safe and accessible areas for this activity. Furthermore, climate change and urbanization increase the risk of flooding and contamination. While some cities have made progress in improving water quality, it remains a complex and ongoing issue.
