Venice Floods Every Year

Every year Venice, Italy, experiences seasonal flooding, which is known as acqua alta. Still, the city always finds a way to adapt to the rising water levels.

A lot of the city is stone, and I assume they treat their stone during or after floods. It’s actually a small misunderstanding, because when water seeps through rock it’s actually salt deposits that appear on the surface, not mold. On other materials other than stone and masonry, yes, mold can appear if not taken care of.

[@Viviannedadandendanden-vq6qk]

hey, how are you doing

[@XitlalicProductions]

I don't understand the perky delivery of this. The city is sinking into the ocean. The marsh it's ontop of is compacting and the foundation of the city is crumbling due to the saltwater. The flooding has far surpassed what Venice was built to accommodate. So, it's sinking, eroding, and sea levels are rising due to climate change, but yes let's talk about it like it's just a quirk of the city.

[@brendanthebomber.]

Their definitely trying to to normalize climate change

[@FAB1150]

Two things are true but it's not eroding. The wood is rarely in contact with salt water as it's mostly in the mud, protected from the salt water. The wooden poles that degrade are periodically replaced or repaired, as the ones that are most prone to erosion are the ones on the edges, most affected by tides and water forces to erode the mud that protects them. In the past years venetian ground has risen a little bit actually, as it was figured that the biggest cause of sinking was the mass-pumping of ground water from Marghera (city near Venice), that was emptying the aquifers. They stopped doing that and Venice has gone up about 2cm (1") on average. Some areas settle and do sink though, it's inevitable as the mud compacts. The sea has risen though, that's the biggest problem.

[@randallsmerna384]

What are you going to do at this point. You either deal with it or you walk away. Venice is far too valuable just to walk away from.

[@randallsmerna384]

[@abhisheksharma-sb3er]

Haha! She goes from "what causes the city to flood?" To directly to "it has a name"😂

[@drewwhasinsomnia]

i don't know if you want the answer but it's literally because of the proximity to bodies of water and mostly rain or another natural causes (hurricanes, melting of snow and things like that) and the bodies of water overflowing. for example let's say that near your house was a river that was covered up to build the houses, when it rains the water will flow the same as it did before the river was covered up so that area is more likely to get flooded if the rain is too heavy. sorry if I didn't explained it well, English is not my first language and sometimes I get confused.

[@Jaewing]

Venice is also just… sinking. Its because od how the city was built on wooden posts driven into the sea floor and those rot/sink/compress over the years.
