Venice, Italy, known as the Water City, is now seriously short of water.

Recently, the news of serious water shortage in Venice, a water city, shocked many netizens. Venice has always been called a floating city and is one of the most romantic cities in the world. Why is Venice short of water now? The water level of Venice River dropped sharply, the riverbed dried up, and the water city was no longer watery. As for the reasons for this situation, many experts have also responded. It is reported that this has a lot to do with marine activities, weather and climate change.

Venice, a water city, is seriously short of water, many inland rivers have dried up, and passing vehicles have run aground on the shore. Now the water level of Venice River is -0.35 meters above sea level. Venice has always been called the Water City. Why is there a shortage of water now? Professionals say that the drought in Venice is related to the weather. In recent months, warm high pressure has been covering the whole of Italy. Under the influence of high pressure, there will be a low water level. High pressure for several months will cause excessive pressure on the sea level, and the water level at sea level will continue to decrease.

In addition, there is less precipitation in Italy this year. February is the month with the least annual precipitation in Venice, but this year's precipitation is only 3.4 mm, which used to reach 50 mm. When the precipitation suddenly decreases, the Venice River will naturally dry up. Of course, these two points are only influencing factors, not decisive factors. What really determines the water level is the tide. As we all know, Venice is a city near the sea, and the water level is closely related to the tides.

When the sea level rises, the water level in Venice will rise, and when the sea level falls, the water level will fall. In order to change this situation, 20 18 Venice began the Moses plan.
