Haha, I left a comment on the Putin underground bunker fern video a few weeks ago, asking if Hoog had another channel or if the channels shared a voice actor.
@@thevis5465 Curious! I am very intelligent.
Do you know know the term "sewage"?
I find it hilarious how professional this videos visuals and tone are and then out of the blue its like "The sewer system mixes the s*** water and storm water together". I wish more informative videos did that.
yea but teachers cant play it in class now :/
It's incredible
This feels like Half As Interesting or Wendover Productions cooler younger brother 😂😂
Fresh air
Yeah that was a strange choice of words
As a Parisian, I had friends in highschool that would go swim in the Seine. Naturally, once they got out of the water, they were no longer my friends.
I remember two years ago during the music festival there was a drunk dude who got into a fight and swam straight in to escape.
There were cops on boat fishing him up in no time with a nasty fine
Ca va, c'était juste pour un défi (que j'ai gagné par ailleurs).
jure c'était toi mdrrrr@@Greeneetch

Parisian here. I fully support the actions to clean the Seine river. Hidalgo, Paris mayor is looking for lime lights. Cleaning the Seine river is OBVIOUSLY NOT an action limited to Paris but of all Departements and Régions bathed by the Seine. So real actions in water processing and garbage collection is needed, ABSOLUTELY. I can see some progress (Huge difference with my childhood in the 50s) in my home town of Asnieres (20km downstream of Paris). There are fishs, there are plants, animals, no smell, some devices to collect floating debris, bottles, etc, but still quite a lot to do.
Here in Basel, swimming in the Rhine River is a huge thing, on hot days there are thousands floating down the river. I wish Paris the best of luck in achieving their goal.

It was so surprising but I watched through the whole thing instead of skipping so i guess it works
Inprisonned german
I honestly hope more cities go in the direction she’s going in. Europe’s already less car centric than America, but I’m still surprised at how many rivers there are that are close to or are basically just open sewage.
This week a group of the Paris administration department will come to Basel to inspire why Swiss people can swim in the rivers. Years ago the rivers in Switzerland were polluted too but in the recently years they changed that and there's everyone swimming in the rivers like in Bern, Zurich and even Basel that has a lot of industry there
They will need to do what Switzerland did x 10 so it can have any effect in Paris. We're talking apples and oranges here. In comparison Switzerland is the outer urban area of Paris plus its country side.
You go the usual American route of talking about Europe as if it were a country. Many European countries have solved these problems, the shit rivers are left in for example France.
Europe in many ways is more comparable to Asia than America from a diversity standpoint. You also wouldn’t mix in China, Thailand, and Kazakhstan into one and make a problem Russia might have, one of Asia as a whole. It just doesn’t make much sense
@@ja_u Europe _in general_ is less car-centric and I never said every river in Europe was a shit river, it’s just a surprisingly consistent story across different places in Europe, especially historically. Not that solving that problem in each country would mean the same thing.
@@ja_ularge parts of these efforts are done on a state level in the US, or city-wide levels. In this case there is really no problem at comparing individual cities from across the US with individual cities across Europe.
As a frenchman, excellent video! Thank you! On point humor, good descriptions, and nice 3d renders.
Hay Hogg, Excellent video as often.
I live 80km before Paris along the Seine and we swim in it all summer because the water looks really clean there. But when you take the train for Paris (along the Seine all the way) from my small town you can see every 10k the color of the water changing bit after bit, from the beautiful green color from where I live to the classic Paris' Brown™.
I really hope Madame Hidalgo can put her vision into reality even tho we're not there yet.
Also the canal in the north of Paris is already swimmable and hold small pools in the summer during 'Paris Plage'.
Have a nice day.
As someone who often walks by the quai of the canal Saint Martin and who have more than on one occasion witnessed boats dumping their waste in the water and felt the foul stench that irradiated from it, I don't understand those pools at all...
Doesn't look that brown to me on video
You haven't seen Poltva river brown™ colour
Poltva is the river that goes under Ukrainian city of Lviv, and in my village nearly 5 - 6 km away its still brownier than Sein
Brown water doesn't always mean disgusting shit polluted water. You might know of the very famous Yellow River in China, it is yellow/brown because of the silt and dirt 1000s of km upstream getting carried all along it's length.@@fanOfMinecraft-UAs_channel
@@sirjoey3137 Yes, but brown colour in Poltva is just badly treated shit, my dad said before the world's worst treatment plant was built, it sometimes stinked to our garden
The treatment plant is just useless piece of garbage
Also someone needed to put another plant somewhere before it overflows into river, from which Poles in Warsaw drink their water
Who the fuck says " Madame Hidalgo" ?
It's 2023, no one should be overflowing sewage into a waterway. Absolutely not one to judge, we have combined sewer systems still in Michigan and it's absurd they haven't been separated yet. Especially with climate change increasing heavy rain events. Our outflow is the Great Lakes basin and fresh water is kind of important. More power to her and hope progress pace gets picked up worldwide (IJA is helping here some at least).
Detroit can barely afford to maintain its infrastructure, let along completely rebuild it.
yeah but it's so hard to fix, especially in cities like Paris with stupidly large and complex rail tunnel networks and high density. The fact that there's train stations like Châtelet-Les Halles being basically massive voids under Paris' center is both a marvel of civil engineering and a challenge...
Colonizers tend to learn the worst habits from the people they colonized.
easier said than done. Same thing is happening here in Hawaii. They allowed us to build years and years ago using cess pools and now want you to upgrade to septic tanks. But who is going to pay the 10k, 15k needed for the upgrade? Most people here are just barely making ends meet. We don't have the money to upgrade our septic even if they do help (which they dont). I totally understand the parisans who wont upgrade. The government should fully cover the cost if they are so desperate for it
@@Ntyler01mil during Snyder one of his many taskforces said statewide we were underfunding just water/sewer maintenance around half a billion... And added a footnote that their estimate was conservative. So, yep.
"The people onboard, weren't on board." Perfect line
That's the problem with these over romanticized places. The reality is that Paris smells, the cafes have become over priced tourist traps with way too many tourists everywhere, and everything is overpriced.
Yeah the problem with everyone of those problems is tourists. Overtourism is a cancer in many cities in europe
In 2012, Portland, Oregon completed the Big Pipe Project to reduce combined sewer overflows, at a similar price tag. But it's worth mentioning that the three Big Pipes are really just the second line of defense.
The humble first line is preventing so much runoff from going into the sewers in the first place: rain gardens and stormwater sumps disconnect downspouts from the sewer and send the rain into the ground, like it did before all the pavement. Clean streams from outside the city that had been canalized through the sewer were given their own, separate pipeline to the river. And some of the combined sewers were separated, with the stormwater going to a large, newly reconstructed wetland.
It took 20 years, but rainy Portland went from 2100 hours of overflow each year to 13.
but you still dont want to be dumping that direct into the rivers too
Good FYI. Am a Portland Metro resident so this is very good to know 👍
As an Oregonian (Klamath Falls) that’s been away serving in the Army for 26 years (Infantry) I didn’t know the details of that project. You’re pretty insightful on your overview and history, well done sir.
I have been swimming downtown portland off the Hawthorne dock for years now. Although the algea blooms this year have been not good
Unfortunately It looks like the shit has come back to Portland and this time it’s all over the streets. Often the current shit has blue or purple hair and would melt if exposed to a third world countries day to day life but is still pushing for anarchy.
It seems Portland will need to drastically update its sewage system before these pieces of shit don’t have anywhere left to get a fancy coffee.
German urban planner here :)
60% of the german canalnetwork is a mixed system... We need to change that in the near future. Doing so is incredibly expensive though. Also, separate systems come with the disadvantage, that the rainwater won't end up in a water treatment facility, but instead flow straight into the rivers. This might not sound bad at first, but rainwater, especially in urban environments, is contaminated with heaps of things (carbon emissions picked up by rain from the air, litter, tirerubber picked up off the streets, all sorts of dirt transported by air that end up on rooftops, the list goes on). Some cities, such as cologne, have a separate water treatment facility just for rainwater. This is the ideal way to do it and should be the standard. However as I said before, this is an extremely costly thing to do, especially if there's only a mixed system in place. Switching system means digging up EVERY street and reconnecting EVERY house via two separate connections. So yeah, not really something that's done within the span of a year, but rather a slow process that'll be done piece by piece over several years.
Are Saudi migrants capable of doing it at all considering they didn't do it in their own country before leaving?
Making the city more proud itself so that rainwater can slowly filter down into water table rather than the river being a drain is another way too.
@@actually5004nope, the eurocucks won't admit that letting illegals in to collect welfare and commit crime in mass while simultaneously having enough money to eat out in expensive restaurants and fly back to their home country as vacations spots is a good idea
Expensive but is badly needed because of environmental impact and dwindling source of fresh water.
@@actually5004 What has this to do with migrants at all? Building planners plan seperate rain and used water systems to the street. There diffrent piping systems in the streets are planned by infrastructure planners. According to the tender and plans the system gets build. Companies will mostly use qualified personell. If standards aren't met and the contact gets violated, the building company will be held accountable and has to redo the work until the agreed standards are met.
Sydney City did a similar thing around its Barangaroo district and plans to make the entire Sydney Habour swimmable.
The parameters for that, however, are 10 years of consecutive clean water tests before being able to be opened up as public swim holes.
This last year saw the first of those being approved.
Heavy industry and malpractice from the last century are unfortunately not something that can be easily reversed in a mere year or so.
Good luck to Paris
Good luck swimming in Sydney with all the sharks! 😂
@@daspec maybe the waste water killed them all off by now 🤷♂
I took part in the Paris triathlon 10 years ago and we, 3000 participants, swam in La Seine right in front of the Eiffel Tower. So far I haven't contracted any strange disease. And my father did the same back in 1985 so although it is fobbed to swim on a normal day, triathlons have been possible in the recent past.
I live in Munich and always thought being able to bathe in the river in the middle of the city was a norm.
I was so surprised when I went to Paris and Rome.
Having a swimmable river is such a big thing. Every city if possible should have one. Maybe they could also add a surfing wave like we have in Munich :P
Your comment is so Munich 😂 it's adorable, never change Bavaria
Toronto is on a lake, one of the "Great Lakes", and yet I still would not swim in it. I blame the Americans, though
@@lif6737 Thousands of Canadians regularly swim on Lake Huron in the summer, which borders Michigan, and it's very clean. If Toronto's lakefront is dirty, the blame is on Toronto.
I live in Jax Florida US of A and it's the same but then again we are very evomentalo concess people who never let the river fall to such a state.
Melbourne has the same issue, no swimming allowed
Crazy how much Olympics shape urbanism. Daniel and I were recently in Barcelona and we learned that the same happened with the city beach (Barceloneta) in ‘92. Thanks for the amazing content!! And congrats for fern!! suscribed 🧡 love from Valencia
While the olympics is a huge money sink and much of the stuff built is just left to rot, occasionally some good things do come out of it. Too bad this money could not be raised to clean the river without the olympics.
Yes. So many infrastructure projects in LA right now with 2028 goals to meet the Sunmer Olympics.

Yeah, can’t tell who’s shittier: home boat owners, or the Seine?
As a Parisian this was very informative , well done! Although your portrayal of Hidalgo is quite kind in my opinion but that’s another subject 😅
Why don't you like Hidalgo, as major of Paris? she did amazing imo, ofc if you're a heavy car user I can understand your point of view but that's a necessity
@@Assassunn not a car owner at all, her car policy is one of the only things I agree with haha
For me I really dislike some of the amenities she’s implementing (removing some historic furniture and replacing them with ugly ones Imo)+ hasn’t delivered on cleaning up the city. Also the cour des comptes report about the city’s accounts are fucking terrible lmao, just giving money left and right to random “NGOs” owned by her friends who do nothing for the city.
@@agathacccc2710 I agree with your concerns but I still think she's the best mayor Paris has had in a long time. She transformed the city in ways that both Chirac and Delanoë were incapable (Or unwilling?) to pull off.
Yesterday I came back from my first visit to Paris. At first I didn't understand what this video was talking about, because the Seine already looks very clean! Good job, mayor!
Almost cried from the Fern announcement! I always consume English content and most of them are always so US-centric it is hard to watch. Such a relief to see a Europe-centric channel in English. Thank you for doing this!

Hey Hoog, I'd love to see videos on urban design and reviewing cities from around the world wether it's because their designed amazingly or terribly, for example perhaps a review of Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Reykjavik, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Montreal, Freiburg, etc.
would love to see stockholm too
All those old city sewer systems need reform. Just do it, we wont notice it with the extra 200 dollar a year, and the toilet don't overflow. Every time it overflows, the cost to me as a home owner is so much more.
>around the world
>Basically only Europe
I mean, europe just has a lot of interseting cities due to its long history@@__-rt5tm
@@__-rt5tm Well yeah... Europe has better cities than other places in the world... There either to poor (e.g) India or to capitalistic like the USA for example. Europe has the balance which allows it to develop walkable pedestrian cities. There are a few here and there outside of Europe but by far Europe is the best in this regard. In part due to colonialism and imperialism, it's had a foundation of design and planning for centuries the same cannot be said about The USA for example.
An excellent video, Hoog! Extremely informative. The world tips its hat to France and the Paris mayor for their bold, innovative plan to restore the Seine River to its original, natural, clean and healthy state. I hope before I die, I can sink my feet into that clean river and read my Camus. Thank you, France.
My partner raced in the Olympic triathlon test event 10 days ago. The individual race included the swim in the Seine but the Mixed Relay had the swim cancelled due to "water quality reading discrepancies". I have not heard of any major sickness post the race but it begs the question of whether this is a viable race for the athlete's safety. It is an incredible location and idea but seems to be a largely political and symbolic goal that I hope the French and Parisian government makes alternative plans for the race if the plans are not met.
Oh man I love the balance between informative and shitpost. It's just perfect. The introduction to the fern channel was made beautifully
It is remarkable how fast the production value of your channel is improving. This is amongst the best stuff out there. Keep going!
my videos are also of this quality
Our closest small town had sewerage and storm water mixed. Homeowners were given a certain date to have their properties separated. After this date, houses not connected would be connected by the council at the homeowner's expense. They are all now compliant. Our wee township had a counsel that had the foresight to build sewerage ponds. The river no longer has untreated sewerage pumped into it and ours has not gone into the sea untreated for many, many years.
As always, great video! Really like your style of doing these videos, both visually and narrative -wise
Switzerland used to have immense problems with unclean water especially due to chemical dumping back in th 20th century. However we introduced sweeping reforms and laws and today almost all open bodies of water are completely drinkable and swimmable. Even in big cities like Zurich you can literally see the bottom of the Limmat (multiple meters deep) on a nice day.
I'm going there to enjoy the nice Leman lake because of its clear waters 🥰🥰
@@TheLily97232 It wasn't always clean. All those multi-million houses along the banks (Swiss and French sides) used to dump everything into the lake. That was all changed ( in the 70s, I believe).
Now you can swim, dive or go sailing in clean water.
As a Swiss citizen I'd never try to drink any of this water intentionally, but swimming is safe and pleasant that's for sure.
8:06 "but the people onboard, weren't onboard" - made my day 😄
6:30 I really love the way "shitmixed stormwater" rolls off the tongue
I saw a Gallic man swimming in the Seine when I was growing up in Paris in the 1980s, once. He was putting his back into it too. This was right by the Île de la Cité. I remember marvelling at him doing this because the Seine was none too clean.
4:53 that delivery lmfao
Bro, I love how honest you can be in your videos. An unapologetic creator is a breath of fresh air.
Yeah, fuck wokes and peoples afraid of words
Interesting, thank you! I'm surprised no one mentioned in the comment that the mayor's name is HiDALgo and not HiLDAgo. But the rest of the video looks good and the sources are there, so it has all the signs of good work, thank you!
I commented it, it was bothering me so much 😅
This prompted me to research the system my city uses, and while we do use a mixed system, we have underground basins that catch the overflow, so that the rainwater mixed with the waste water can be led to the treatment plant later on instead of being led to the river. This way our river is always perfectly clear and swimmable and used by many as recreational area 😊
What is the city?

To be fair it's a canal, not a river (sea water, not fresh water). Still a big achievement but it's easier to do.

Fun Fact: The Seine is not only the most disgusting river in Paris. It is also the cleanest one, the longest one, AND the shortest one.
I came into this video because I was curious about the information, and you had me cackling the whole video through. Thank you so much xD
It’s hilarious how the mentioning of the Notre Dame came with a clip of it burning lolol
And once again I am so happy that my city (Kiel, Germany) has had a separated sewage system since 1925. Watching these videos of the sewage problems in Paris or the UK just makes me happy I can swim on our beaches without worrying about wastewater. Only one small neighborhood in the entire city has a conbined sewage system and that one is getting replaced too.
I'm french and it comes as no surprise to me. Germans typically know and anticipate best. I'm glad you get to enjoy that!
@@RomNYC yes, bit not all cities in Germany are like that. Most cities in northern and eastern Germany have seperated systems while most in southern and western Germany don't. That's why Munich or Stuttgart have the same problems as Paris while my city on the Baltic Sea does not. Hamburg and Berlin are also really interesting, they have a mixed system in the centre were they built it first, but have a separated sewage system everywhere else. These cities also heavily invest into storage facilities just like Paris. But as I said, I am glad my city does not have to deal with that stuff anymore. Only one small neighborhood in the north has that problem and since it is only like 20 streets they are separating rhe sewage system street by street there so that in like 10 years or so the entire system in the city is separated, making the already very good water quality in the Kiel fjord perfect once and for all
Only 35% of German cities have separated sewage. France rate is higher.
@@walideg5304 as I said, I am only talking about my city, especially in southern Germany many cities like Munich have the same problem as Paris

Thanks Kino
What an amazing color scheme and presentation! Good work, very well done.
This reminds me a lot of the Thames Tideway project they are constructing in London. Here all the overflow pipes are being redirected into a big new sewer tunnel following the route of the Thames but at a depth of 10 or so meters below the river bed.
Don't get why they don't do this instead.
The mix of such high-quality video production and the casual use of "shit water" is beyond hilarious to me
Very good video. How do you do the 3D city view? I've seen some videos on some ways to do it including official google methods but which what process did you use? Just the software used would be great enough. Thanks
1:50 "But to also make videos for people who live in Europe but consume English content"

Hoog is always peak content, keep it up man!
To get homeowners to connect to the sewer system, give them two options : either connect, or install their own septic system with strict environmental laws. They will all switch to the sewer system as it will cost them a lot more money upfront and over time to get their own system. Plus they'll lost a lot of space as those systems need clear ground to work.
that's how it is already for decades
the second option does not even work in Paris. most houses will not even have a garden. they would still need to use public space for it.
Also the biggest challenge is to avoid that they would just go on strike again. This is Paris we talk about. French people are already good at protesting for about anything. But the Parisians are the next level. they will just block the city for weeks if needed.
Bro thinks forcing people to spend 10k to 20k is gonna make them happy they probably didnt do it cause they dont have money to begin with.

The production of your videos never cease to amaze Hoog. Keep up the good work.
my production quality is on par just I need to pump out more :)
I value the content, and considering the nature of the channel's material, the term "shit water" truly scratches my brain when I hear it in this context. While I grasp the challenge of segregating sewage from rainwater, it's important to recognize that”shit water” harbors not only bacteria and germs but also other substances. For example, excluding human feces from toilets , we have pollutants from the kitchen or other household appliances where grease and other substances can break down over time, releasing toxins that are detrimental to human health. 🤔
To get the point across you gotta call it what it is 🤣
NEEEEERD

The choice of words makes it feel as if Charlie decided to suddenly take a scientific approach to explaining modern problems. The video was extremely entertaining, keep it up!
Amazing video as always. The only thing tickling the ear is your pronunciation of "Hidalgo" as "Hildago", but this only stands out so much because the rest is perfect.
It's a bit sad to me that the Parisians don't feel the need to connect their boats or houses to the sewer systems.
Like, regardless of the upcoming Olympics, do you really want the major river flowing though your city to be literally full of shit??
The problem is more complicated than that but yes, paris have a huge part of building only for renting with huge benefits but owners don't see why they will pay a price for just a river they don't really care about and who will not make money in the process.
They're French. Of course they don't care.
@@Haverlock no. even other people in other countries don't care. USA can be an great example of that 😂.
I think they've been offered enough carrot, and it's time to break out the stick.
Pure selfishness. The issue is that they seem to have asked nicely instead of also threaten them with a penalty if they don't connect to the sewer system.
Fascinating. I hope this succeeds. In addition to attracting swimmers, I'm sure cleaning up the river would also improve the smell!

Excellent video. You had my attention the whole time. Congrats

I don't know how long these kinds of projects take. Considering what the Monongahela river used to be and how it is now, I know it's not completely unfeasible.
In the mid to late 20th century, Seattle cleaned up Lake Washington significantly (there used to be tons of industries eutrophicating the crap out of it) and now it’s so clean it has edible fish like landlocked salmon and rainbow trout once again; the ongoing rewilding of creeks and rivers that drain into it also helps, as will the fact that increasingly-common river floods in the winter have made their banks significantly less attractive places to develop and then build houses on, encouraging further rewilding projects. We are also working on a more effective drainage system to combat what are now yearly November floods and worsening rain storms during the 8 months of non-summer we have, so that our drains don’t back up and make our waterfront too toxic to swim in every time there’s torrential winter rain. And these tunnels will be more likely to survive the impending mega-earthquake we’re a few years overdue for than our current sewage system
I love the combination of knowledge, top notch visuals and potty mouth. You got a new fuckin' subscriber.
I love how you indiscriminately call it "shit water" instead of some more professional term. It cracks me up every time.

Even if she doesn’t manage to get it perfectly clean by 2025 it’s still a far cry from what many other European mayors are doing. My mayor (Lisbon) ran on a campaign to remove bike lanes so as to not to bother local traffic…

This video is hilarious, not sure how intentional that was, glad to hear Paris is making a strong effort to turn things around
To think that all these insanely costly plans could've been avoided if only there was rational action earlier
it's not a question of rational action. When the sewage system was built in Paris it was one of the most advanced and forward thinking in the world. Times change, rationalism changes with it
Brussels went through a similar process with the zenne. You still can't swim in it, but it does have fish again. Love the video, very informative. To me, the question of where my shit goes to is absolutely fascinating.
Hi! Great animations! What program do you use to make them? I'm eager to get into this myself
Hi, im from Singapore, and talking about cleaning rivers, you should look at PM Lee Kuan Yew's mission to clean the SIngapore River and actually achieved it!:) All these without the technologies that you just described:)
I hope this comes true. It would be such an important step in the right direction!
In switzerland almost every single river ist found to be a gigantic pool. No matter if it is a slow river or one as fast as the 'Aare'. They have official swim areas with lifeguards that are free. Inwish we had that in Germany as well. In so many other citys with rivers it would be sooo nice....
The dedication into this. Gold.
