The Seine River: Olympic Athletes Face Old Problems with Pollution.
Reading
The Seine River in Paris was very dirty for many years. The city spent a lot of money to clean it up for the Olympics.
The biggest problem is rain, which can overwhelm the sewer system. When this happens, dirty water goes into the river.
This dirty water can have bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These can make people sick if they swim in the water.
To try to fix this, Paris built a big basin to hold extra rainwater. They also fixed the sewer system and water treatment plants.
Even with these changes, heavy rain can still cause problems. Officials are testing the water every day to make sure it is safe for swimming.
