€5 billion is enough money to give €100,000 to every homeless person in Italy, but instead they spent it on some crazy flood defence project that didn't even work.
Maybe the best thing to do is to close all openings to the sea, maintain the safe water level in the lagoon and build a Panama-like canal with locks to connect the lagoon to the sea and to prevent sea water from coming in. Also build pumping station to maintain water level, which also serve to remove flood waters coming from the mainland.
Just for perspective, it costed over 10 times more to build these failed flood defences than it did to build the Shard, which is the tallest skyscraper in the European Union.
The only way for them to succeed is by building dams that have locks that stay open during safe tide levels it already works everywhere else just my opinion tell me if I'm wrong
Brian W You been reading too much NYtimes. The actual data shows that most of the countries engaged in the belt and road initiative have a balanced debt structure from a variety of sources from multiple countries. The news make it sound like all of their debts are from China all of a sudden.
Amazing how centuries ago the architects found a way to erect buildings on a lagoon, that currently remain. Hundreds of years later, the smartest minds can't figure how to build a gate? Ridiculous. The difference now is that everyone's main concern is money, more than function.
Years and years studying the problem and still they mess it up. All the modern technology and materials and they couldn't find something that didn't readily corrode and rust?!?! Someone or a lot of someones need to be fired and replaced. 😒
Why didn’t they just narrow the inlets so they had less gates to build? They could have dredged the material from around Venice as well to make the water deeper and increase the Bays capacity.

Why not dams with gates to control the level. Seems easier to do then have hinged objects on the seabed.
What a clever useful video... 😏

You know we have these things called locks that have been used for centuries and they work.
How did nobody involved just look at the design of the gates before they were even built and point out that the design was a mess? Come on man lmao
Haha Goodbye Venice, will remember you
I almost bought a Ferrari. Now I'm getting a bus pass...lol
I would have tried to do a little - 5 euro experiment before spend the first billion
WHAT? Not a SINGLE SHOT of these underwater barriers!
They shoulda called Amsterdam

Call the Dutch
Really awesome
who still makes these documentaries where the experts are clearly reading from a script? that is old, stop it. move on film-makers
Like many other projects in the world, they might not be good ideas but the money is good.
Does the water really that deep? I thought Venice as built on top of a swamp so perhaps they can build a sea wall through land reclamation.
Amazing process
I am Italian....absolutely embarrassed and not surprised at all. Italy is like this in most aspects!

Venice: I'm bouta end this man's whole career.

Build a huge dam around Venice. Then have gates that will allow boats through when it's safe.
Stop hiring kids just out of college to design your solutions. This problem was solved in other places decades ago. Could have used a lock.
How about made permanent barier and use it like a cannal system. So the ship still able to pass through?
But why would they want the gates to ever drop down?
because if the water along the shore never circulates you'd end up with stagnant water full of decaying organic material
Errr.. boats? I think they need water to navigate. :)
I want to visit still but this concerns me.
One thing For sure the engineer knows her pole well.
Hey, that's mah savior in Physics waah *waving at CrashCourse*
