I know that ever since May 2003, Venice was slowly sinking. They want to use the MOSE Project to stop it from flooding-

but is Venice still technically sinking?

Please tell me why to get a best answer.

  1. dont ask me or him ask leonardo


  2. Yes, Venice is still sinking. Reports say that Venice has sunk about 7 centimeters a century. Even with the dams and sinks, Venice is in danger of floods that wear away the buildings. Reports also say the project to protect the city from water will not work.The Venice lagoon is one of the world's most delicate and unstable ecosystems, a unique place where saving a dying natural habitat is key to preserving human culture and history: Centuries of invaluable art and architecture sit within the nature preserve and will be lost if the lagoon succumbs.

    And that has prompted increasingly passionate debates here about radical plans now under way to save it - plans that push at the limits of man's scientific knowledge and engineering capacity.

  3. yes and even worst the water is rising at the same rate so its like it sinking twice as fast

  4. It sure is.
