routine samples taken from June 10th to June 16th at various locations along the Seine revealed elevated levels of E. coli bacteria.

the water quality was considerably reduced due to the unusually high rainfall in May and the recent wet days.
It also mentioned the absence of sunny days or times with reduced streamflow, which can aid in the reduction of bacteria.
