Geneva’s waterfront grew around hydropower and trade; the Jet d’Eau began as a mechanical exhaust for a hydraulic plant in the 19th century and later became a civic landmark.
Lake Geneva is monitored for water quality and the city promotes responsible tourism—avoid littering, stick to paths, and choose local products to support regional producers.
