[post_page_title]Venice, Italy [/post_page_title]
Venice is known as the sinking city because of the “acqua alta” flooding the city’s residents experience on a yearly basis. Venice was built almost 2,000 years ago on a wooden foundation that still sits on a string of islands on slightly elevated above sea level. The water level underneath the Venetian city is rising at an alarming rate – exactly 0.16 inches per year. By 2030, the city is expected to sink by at least inches and by 2100, it will be 43 inches under water. To combat this imminent flood that will render the city uninhabitable, the Italian government is investing $6 billion USD annually to build a flood barrier that will be complete by 2020.
