La sfârșitul unei alte veri, rămâne o întrebare: De ce în comunism, scăldatul era permis în lacurile din București, dar de peste 20 de ani este interzis?

Swimming in Bucharest's lakes was common during communism but has been banned for over 20 years due to pollution and safety concerns. Authorities cite illegal wastewater discharges and inadequate sewage treatment as major issues. While some European cities have reopened swimming areas, Bucharest's lakes remain polluted and unsafe. Experts suggest that improving wastewater management and reducing pollution sources are essential for making these lakes safe for swimming. France has successfully reopened a canal for swimming after extensive cleanup efforts, highlighting the potential for similar initiatives in Bucharest.
