After 200 Years, This Old Canal In Paris Was Drained And People Were Surprised To See What Was Underneath The Water

Save The Fish

Workers continued to drain the water from the Canal Saint-Martin until there were only 20 inches left. They needed to get the fish to safety first and foremost. For three days in the water, the cleanup crew fished for carp, trout, and bream. The creatures were apprehended and relocated to a different section of the river.

Swimming There Might Be Possible

Even after how saddening it was to see so much waste in the canal, there is reason to be hopeful. The findings shed light on the city’s littering problem. Authorities took advantage of the opportunity to discuss the situation. “If everyone mucks in and avoids throwing anything into the water,” Celia Blauel told MailOnline, “we might be able to swim in the canal in a few years.”
