NOVA Special on Venice this week

[cruisemom42]

I just saw that NOVA will be airing a new documentary in the next week on efforts to save Venice from both rising seas and sinking land. Check your local PBS station(s) if interested...

 

Good timing for me as I'll be flying into Venice a week from tomorrow. 😁

Thanks so much for posting!  We are heading to Venice in a month.  Will certainly watch it to gain some insight on the city's island system. I'm so excited!  I do hope we don't experience to much flooding during our stay.

Thanks for the info.  I'd love to visit Venice again.

Fascinating documentary about Venice on PBS. Thanks so much for making the community aware. Hope that you are enjoying Venice now.... a beautiful place.

It was great, especially the idea on how to lift Venice.

I agree, thanks Cruisemom for posting.

 

The idea to lift Venice for only $100m seems too good to be true, but you never know.

 

I also found interesting the fact that they cannot overuse MOSE or it will affect the tides ability to clean out Venice waters.  I never thought of that.  A balancing act they need to consider before lifting the barriers.
