How to Save Venice from the Flood? | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Venice is one of the most visited places in Italy, as tourists flock to see its famous canals. Every day, thousands of passengers disembark from cruise ships to take in St Mark’s Square, the Doges Palace, and the Rialto Bridge. These are short-stay visits, often only a matter of hours, just time to take a few photos, enjoy a gondola ride and buy some souvenirs. These lightning halts often leave visitors disappointed that they didn’t discover the romantic Venice they had imagined.
But the tourists are not the only ones dissatisfied. The Venitians themselves are paying a high price for mass tourism. With this continuous flow of visitors, the residents feel they have been dispossessed of their city, which sometimes seems more like a giant theme park. Living conditions are becoming increasingly difficult due to pollution, traffic gridlock at the entry points to the city, dangerous boat traffic on the Grand Canal, noise pollution, and so on. In the past half-century, the city has lost some 50,000 inhabitants.
This documentary takes us to the heart of the problem, which some experts think is set to continue. At this rate, the whole city could soon be emptied of its population. What is daily life really like for those Venetians who have decided to remain? What is the price for saving their city from the economic, environmental and sociological disaster that hangs over them?

The people who built Venice certainly didn't build it to last - it was always meant to be a temporary arrangement . Over a period of time their descendants forgot the basic design of the structure and made extensions and additions without realising that the original structure had its limitations as far as the foundations were concerned. Coupled with global warming and climate change Venice is gradually showing its weak points as the water rises and the superstructure starts to subside into the clay .

You can't keep a Canal Dry for more than 3 months, and you can't keep a good Canal down😮 Rather than employing all those specialist, you can hire an American firm. They can rip everything down and build a nice theme park with a strip mall. Doest that sound appealing?

[@jomeyer13]

Cant they build new canal walls all the way through the canal ?
