Flood defence model of Venice
Flood defence model of Venice, Italy. Venice is a city on an island in a coastal lagoon. The two men are on the main island at the entrance to the Canale Grande (running to bottom left). Severe floods, due to winds and tides, are predicted to worsen due to global warming and subsidence. A variety of defences, part of the MOSE project, are tested on this model of the entire 550-square- kilometre lagoon. The main defence will be sets of moveable barriers across the sea inlets to the lagoon. Photographed in Padova in 2003

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a flood defence model of Venice, Italy. The city of Venice, situated on an island in a coastal lagoon, faces the imminent threat of severe floods caused by both winds and tides. With the added concerns of global warming and subsidence, these floods are predicted to worsen over time. In response to this pressing issue, engineers and researchers have developed the MOSE project. The two men featured in the photograph stand on the main island at the entrance to Canale Grande, which stretches towards the bottom left corner. This model represents the entire 550-square-kilometre lagoon surrounding Venice. It serves as a testing ground for various flood defences aimed at preserving this iconic city's unique environment. The primary defence strategy involves implementing sets of moveable barriers across sea inlets leading into the lagoon. These barriers act as massive gates that can be raised or lowered based on tidal conditions and weather patterns. Photographed in Padova back in 2003, this image captures not only cutting-edge technology but also highlights ongoing research and experimentation conducted by dedicated scientists working tirelessly to protect Venice from devastating flooding events. As climate change continues to pose challenges worldwide, it is crucial to recognize innovative projects like MOSE that strive to safeguard vulnerable areas from environmental threats.
