Ou don't need a degree in anything to see why it doesn't work.... They could use that water movement to generate electricity and also use suction pipes for desalination plants helping the tide to remain reduced...... Oh what about using the seawater to make electricity..... Now they'd have multiple benefits from the seawater all whist keeping the tide low...

Because humans suck as spezies

So when I was a kid an aunt of mine went to Venice and I did some research about Venice and well what I found was insane. Lets stop the bullshit and actually do something that should have been done 140 years ago and evacuated the entire city of Venice. So really really stupid reality is Venice has been sinking and the sinking can not stop because stupidly the entire city is on a slap that has been crumbling and about 140 years ago people claim it was put on stilts but what in reality was done was pilers were placed diagonally into the base to slow its collapse because turns out over 200 years ago is when it was first found out that Venice is over a giant sink hole that there is a void under the city that the entire city will eventually fall into and every thing that is being done is not changing the fact that the city will fall into that void and in fact this new flood defense is not going to change the reality that that city is falling apart. In reality every single person still living in Venice is a moron. Reality is over 90% of that city is under water and unlivable. Hell around 80 years ago buildings were built on top of the old city that already fell into the void the city is constantly falling in and new buildings built on top of the old ones. The foundation that these buildings are on is quick sand and every existing building has unrepairable structural damage that is failing faster and faster. The reality is that entire city is only barely not dead and in reality scientists are horrified at the insanity that morons refuse to leave a place that actually should have fully collapsed almost 50 years ago and the fact its not fully fallen in is by random bullshit chance. This 7 billion dollar structure changes nothing about the reality that that city is a zombie city because its a corpse that should already be dead but is barely alive. These morons keep spending billions up on billions to trillions every single year to keep that city from fully collapsing. People call people morons when they refuse to move away from an area that has tornados that rip apart their houses every year but Venice is even stupider to live in because Venice should not exist because Venice is worse because it should have already fully collapsed but 1 of those ancient nearly 140 year old posts that was placed into the city is holding the entire city up and its breaking and when that single pole fully breaks or breaks enough which should have happened over 40 years ago but when it does break every single moron living in Venice will die. Venice is living on borrowed bullshit time and reality check should have been abandoned over a century ago because its a dead city.

Oof... and well, the ships’ flood-prevention gates allegedly did not work which lead to the 20th century disaster. The 21st century submersible imploded. Either way, it seems as though you’re correct... is this shit gonna happen again in a century...? Future generations, do not make it a trilogy...

Except the Titanic did everything it was supposed to do. the ship wasnt designed to withstand the massive amount of damage the iceberg caused, so it actually did a really good job at slowing down the flooding.

Yeh it sounds like a bad idea for a river where the water has to end up somewhere, just becomes a dam. This one in particular is just the ocean though, where it doesnt need to divert anywhere.

described a dam

Most the surrounding areas are beaches, and there is flooding protection in those areas already. Though it might make the flooding start "swallowing" beaches, but I am not sure... but it will likely mean more of the beaches get flooded instead.

Build homes in natural floodplain. Homes flood. **surprised Pikachu face** Divert river so that the floodplain doesn't flood anymore. Floods just go somewhere else along the river. **surprised Pikachu face again**

@@Felamine​​⁠​⁠​​⁠​⁠ Amazing how accurate this is. I’ve lived in a flood plain my whole life, and yet people keep being surprised when they build houses by the river and they flood. Like, the town becomes an island twice a year and those fields become lakes, what did you think was going to happen? You’d think the problems with building at the very bottom of a river valley would be self evident, and yet

yeah should been like the panama canal where they can control water getting in and debris wouldn't fall under moving parts.

😂😂😂😂

I’m sure it worked in a sterile lab before nature happened

Lmao, it never even touched the ground

Damn. Could they not attach some type of mesh netting (something without holes amor parts that would trao wildlife) that could lift and fall with the steel parts to block debris from getting in? Or is that unfeasible? Does anyone here know?

@@jgowner6076 The Deltawerken is just a series of dams. In Venice they didn't want a dam.

@@neutronalchemist3241 please do your homework if you make such a false statement. The Deltawerken have multiple levee's in multiple different places to strengthen and shorten the coastline and an inflatable rubber tube that holds back water. Besides that, in the years we built the Oosterschelde deltawerken, they maintained the nature preserve, where they are currently modifying and improving the Afsluitdijk to restore the old habitats.

@@jgowner6076 Yeah, and leeves are earth dams. So you just stated that the Deltawerken is a series of dams. Please, switch on your brain before typing. Had you had at least a minimal knowledge of what you are talking about, you should have known that Venice's lagoon ALREADY has embankments protecting it (murazzi). They had been built in 18th century. It's not that they had to wait for the Dutch to teach them how to pile up dirt. What has to be regulated now, due to the mutated conditions of the lagoon and of the city in the past two and half centuries, is the passage of water in the OPENINGS between the embankments (bocche di porto) WITHOUT ALTERING THEM. They didn't want to build other embankments and didn't want to build evident structures like the Maeslantkering. Do you really think someone needs aid to build a flood gate?

and also if the sea level continues to rise, it won't be effective in 50 years anymore

JESUS AND GOD LOVE EVERYONE TURN TO GOD BEFORE ITS TO LATE

It actually does.

I looked it up on several news sites and most agree that it has been working fine since 2021, though it wasn't fully complete until 2023, but with the rising tide and sea level from climate change it will likely work for far less time than expected, about 30 years. Though it was always thought to be a temporary solution they expected 100 or so years. And there are concerns about ecological and environmental consequences. But it does currently work.

Lagon would become stinky mess if deprived of its dynamic relation with the sea. It's an environment with a very complex equilbrium both at a sediment level and at a wildlife level.

Hundreds of years ago, it was really strategically placed. Venice was a huge trading hub, and it gave easy access to the many ships that would come through.

@@masterofthecontinuum that’s true yes but possibilities for the future are normally a big defining factor in many economic investments and putting a heavy city in marshland that close to the ocean has major red flags. But that also could be the bias of what is know today vs then talking.

It's because the soil is sinking due to excessive mineral water extraction under Jakarta city.

@@Itsnotmeysieyou are still alive and have a choice

Jakarta is a totally different case. And just so you know both in Jakarta and in venice the issue is not something like "the ocean advancing". In Jakarta the city is sinking and in Venice the tides are a seasonal issue.

nope. ever been, never will. like any "famous" city, its just a hustle and expensive for no better reason than greed. let it sink.

Compressed air wouldn't cost 300 thousand dollars Granted power is necessary to pump the air and there is some cost but you would think they would have thought of a power supply that doesn't break the bank And the system is manned or supervised at all times so that should affect the cost Sounds like nonsense

Guess who designed it... the Dutch

Why are the Dutch allowing their farms to be destroyed?

@@areyousur3 if you think it’s about the classical type of farms, then the the animal food lobby got to you too. It’s not about farms, it’s about meat factories that house 2000+ cows, or more than 5000 pigs or hundreds of thousands of chickens. That results in 100,000,000 chickens, 12,000,000 pigs and 4,000,000 cows in a country the size of New York with 18,000,000 citizens. So it’s not about the farmer with dozens of cows, it’s about the factories that produce so much damage to the environment

@@Danferplus they call it “jewel of national engineering”…. I can’t seem to find any Dutch company that mentions designing it

@@Danferplus by the way: We’ve been fighting water here since 600 BC, started building terpen around 500 BC and started regaining land in the form of polders in 1852.

It does work, idk why he said that

Yeah, this is a pretty standard flood defense system. Usually deployed in rivers, not lagoons, but the concept is the same, and its only real failure mode (one of the flaps not rising, either due to the water not getting pumped out properly or the hinges failing) will most likely only happen to one or two of the flaps at a time, so even if part of it fails, the rest will still minimize the damage

Yes, it's a bad thing because it shows a political bias. Ask Venice people who has suffered from high water level for decades and now they don't. It works.

the dams in Venice have to work only when there's a high tide.

They are Not stupid a fixes Dam would Ruin Venice skyline 🤮🤮🤮 they have to make one that only goes up when there is Need and than hide again. Also if Ohio failed 90 years ago doesn’t mean we cannot try in 2023 what logic is that you Even Said it’s Not the same System that was Manual

Those special interests definitely don't live in Venice.

You are missing the point totally, my friend. The real objective is not to stop water, but to make a few rich with public money.

Building earth dams doesn't require any particular skill. It's not like being able to do them makes you an "expert" in anything regarding water.

Yeah and the fact they have forgotten important geography notes regarding rivers and their maintenance issues; deposition. Rivers carry crap along with them and when they lose energy such as near the mouth where they meet the sea. When the ramps go up and stop the flow there’s only one place where the crap can go that was carried downstream. It’s a problem along the sea coast too requiring harbours especially to be dredged routinely because of all the sand, trash and mud that gets thrown at the bottom.

and too expensive to make it work, because it's not automated, so it's humans doing everything. And besides, it's not profitable for Venice to use it every time it should, because otherwise tourists can't come and go by boat, so they made a raised walkway system and watertight barriers in the city...

Just fyi, we're masters of bad plans 😂

It was a bad plan indeed - Venice residents are really fed up with it and with the huge cruise ship wanted to get in

What you did read were forecasts "the corrosion WILL interfere, the maintenance WILL be expensive". The system worked pretty well for over two years by now.

Welcome to Italy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Funny thing is, there's only a problem because of the "preserve it" mentality. Venice has always been sinking, always will. People used to have the good sense to keep building upward. They stopped building.

@@thisguy4505Exactly. This is truly the problem. They need to start building back as well as up and move inland. There’s no need to preserve this watery grave. Just build inland and if you want to build up, then demo the bottom and replace the old destroyed materials and rebuild the areas higher. Seems to me a simple solution. But when the people decide to stop making an effort, nature will eat you alive.

The lagoon is artificial actually. Had "Mother Nature got his way", it would have been completely filled by sediments in 16th century. Since Venetians wanted their city to still be built on water, they changed the course of a pair of rivers. The lagoon had been saved, and the sediments started to build the nowadays delta of the Po river.
