If anyone, despite the caption, is still reading - this is an educational post! This is the latest technology water treatment plant and this one serves the Breton town of Iffendic. In fact, the 'latest technology' is the oldest technology in the business as it uses nature's own way of dealing with pollution. Rather than explain it all here, I've managed to find a link in English which explains the whole process. The link refers to the first plant of this type in France - this one was the second - but, as you can see, the illustration is of the Iffendic plant: http://www.veolia.com/en/veolia-group/media/news/treating-water-naturally
As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile... and I promise not to do this too often!
