The BULLION plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Seine River basin. The Seine flows through Paris and eventually into the English Channel. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the Seine's water quality, supporting diverse aquatic life and reducing nutrient pollution that could lead to eutrophication in downstream estuaries.
