The mask wearing has me concerned that it may not be all that brilliant.

London and the Netherlands have been using similar constructions for decades, it's only now that Italy is waking up.

@@OfftoShambala That's an ignorant comment.

​@@averageguy1261 great engineering

@@valerianocuomo996 Jealous? Northern Europe ADMIRES Italy! We admire how, for decades, you have been producing the most beautiful cars that start rusting in the showroom. We admire your high-speed trains that can't handle a little snow, and the naval helicopters that can't handle salt water. We admire your viaducts that demolish themselves. We admire your fashion industry that imported the Covid-19 pandemic from China. We admire that you have one of the largest black economies, and still manage to retire at the age of 57. But what we admire most is that Italy, full of national pride, always passes the bill to Northern Europe and continue to get away with it.

I remember being there about 10 years ago and seeing Dutch engineers working on the barriers.

For 7B you can build a wall around it, circulate the water at the desired level and build a port on the outside of the wall

The Netherlands has many examples of how one can deal with flooding risks from sea and rivers. Dutch engineers travel the entire world to help projects, but of course it’s expensive. Nonetheless it’s cheaper than dealing with the destruction of floods.

Was going to say, this thing has been operating since 2020 and they've had 3 years to get it working. It's been very effective. The only issue now is determining when to open it so that it doesn't result in stagnant waters within the canals.

@@kevinwolff it’s only been open for up to approx 12 hours at a time……certainly not causing stagnant water

@@alexnutcasio936 right, currently it's working. But sea levels are rising rapidly with global warming and it's only a matter of time before they will need to leave it up longer. There are serious concerns locally about whether they would rather let the interior water go stagnant and keep the city safe, or to open it and let the flood waters in.

Haha same way I got here lol

My exact thoughts…

Depends on the flood size, but it can't stop the bigger and bigger ones coming.

They go higher

Sea level? 3 mt ,for the change of the clime is perfect, the problem is the pression of the weather on the paratoie yellow

3mt,

The gates separate the ocean from the city. They can block a high tide 3m higher than normal high tide. It'll be alright for a while.

A true seawall solution will cost €900 billion. It would cost less to relocate some buildings and all art treasures to the mainland. Does Italy and EU want to spend close to a trillion Euros to save Venice?

Gelous? Is future,dam at gravity, is the first prototype,but stop high weather of 3 mt, is not for the apocalipse ,meteorite, ahaha,max at Venice 1,90mt

There's projects to raise key buildings and firm up the land underneath. They also want to get rid of cruise ships saling into the city because the wakes erode the land.

@@karidrgn One city can't change a world disaster around, but I hope all of the changes I've seen so far for this and other cities work out. Sadly, it reminds me of New Orleans pre-Katrina, as it was clear that a Katrina would happen at some point and destroy many homes and lives. They've pushed huge pumps and such scams on taxpayers for decades, but they can't change the fact that most of them are below sea level, nothing they do can change that or really protect them. My friend in Miami had to shelter in her condo due to floods just a few weeks ago. I pray for the best, but I know what the worst is and can be.

The barriers are lifted occasionally, so there is no danger that dirty water will stay in the laguna.

@@miciamiaomiao That I did not know, thank you for the information. Full disclaimer, I am prejudiced against all barriers that try to hold the ocean back. Yes I know it's the Mediterranean Sea but it's basically the ocean. I had to watch Katrina completely destroy New Orleans and if that wasn't bad enough my own governments ineptitude to help the people. Not to mention the people in nursing homes that were literally abandoned to their own fate. So I will admit that my comment did have bias to it. Thank you for your reply, have a nice day. Also at the time I thought president Bush would go down as the worst president in history for his handling of the hurricane, obviously I was wrong by a factor of ten. Just be thankful President Trump wasn't in charge of building your barriers.

Hi@@John-ci8yk you are welcome!

​@@John-ci8yk Sorry for saying so but you sound incredibly uninformed. Do yourself a favor and read up on the Dutch Delta Works, Wikipedia is a good start.

@@John-ci8yk you sound like a liberal democrat. Be extra thankful that Biden wasn't in charge. He can't find his way off a stage. Trump got more built in his term while under constant attack from the left than any president in modern history. So how about getting your facts straight before pointing fingers. As to your precious New Orleans, I loved how the people there would rather loot and destroy than help their neighbors. I can still see clearly in my mind's eye the image of a man with a new Big Screen TV in a shopping cart wheeling it across a bridge to vacate the area.. now what in the world was that TV going to do for him?

Its okay, you're not paying for it.

@@averageguy1261 Remind me to not hire them for gutter work to the house.

They didn't want to spoil the sea view. The water needs to be able to come in and out when the tide isn't too high. There is a container port in the lagoon so they need very large ships to be able to cross.

*saved

Why Germans? I think they actually hired Dutch engineers for this and other projects.

Germans know nothing about watermanagment

​@@DanDanDoedon't worry,we already have the engineers we need and the are there ITALIANS

It was established in the year 421 (1603 years ago). It being built there was a good defense system against enemies and allowed for more stable trade.
