Why Venice is full of water ?

Question

Why Venice is full of water ?

Answer 1

Venice was actually an experiment. I cant remember who but they pulled the land away from the main land and then also build some of the islands. But it was to see if it could be done. That is while the city is slowly sinking and may not be there in 100 years.

Answer 2

The city is built on canals. Canals carry water.

Answer 6

according to the web site i found via a search engine, Venice Italy and New Orleans, LA US share a similar situation. Venice is built exactly at sea level (New Orleans is BELOW sea level) and according to the source, both are built on river sediments. In the case of Venice, the city is sinking, causing more and more water from the Mediterranean sea to rise.

Answer 7

Actually Birmingham and Amsterdam have more canals than Venice.

Answer 8

Venice was founded by local people who moved to islands in the lagoon for protection against invasions barbarians. The city is actually built on a number of islands, and therefore there's a lot of water.

In the late fall and winter, parts of the city flood when winds over the sea, ocean swell, and high tides combine. There are raised walkways in parts of the city for people to get around until the tides go back out. It's interesting to watch the water bubbling up from the drains in Piazza San Marco. On a couple of occassions over the past few years, I've seen the opposite effect - at extreme low tides with winds at sea blowing away, the water levels drop significantly and there's not much water in the canals.
