Paris inaugurates water storage basin to clean river for Olympics

The giant reservoir aims to collect excess rainwater and prevent bacteria-laden wastewater from entering the Seine.

A man walks in the Austerlitz wastewater and rainwater storage basin, which is intended to make the Seine river swimmable during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, in Paris, during its inauguration Thursday, May 2, 2024. The works underground next to Paris' Austerlitz train station are part of a 1.5 billion euro effort to clean up the Seine so it can host marathon swimming and triathlon events at the July 26-Aug 11 Summer Games and be opened to the general public for swimming from 2025.
