High water in Piazza San Marco.

By now we have arrived at an altitude of 200. It 's the number of times the Piazza San Marco has found itself flooded. These figures are very worrying.

shopkeepers, restaurateurs and Venetian artisans have now resigned, sad and worried. Certainly know to live in a city that gives much, but it takes a lot too.
When there is high water, the activity stops in Venice: there are no customers and dealers are committed to clean. We can not speak of "business continuity" and even the gains are comparable to those of other cities. New companies that want to settle in Venice take account of this dramatic situation now with the result that only larger companies can afford to stand still in Venice as the employees, high water or not, must still be paid.

Interview with Paul Canestrelli, director of forecasting and reporting center tides of the City of Venice on the Venice daily Il Gazzettino December 5, 2010, shows alarming data. According to the viewpoint of the engineer Canestrelli, the high number of high tide in Venice is linked to the rise of the middle sea. The data confirm an increase of five centimeters higher than last year's level the Adriatic Sea with a frequency of high tide that broke all records.
Currently, the level is 38 inches (5 cm more than last year) after sea level had remained at about 22-23 cm for over fifty years. But probably, this value of 38 cm is intended to fall in the coming months to return to normal levels.

Time is needed to confirm this hypothesis because the statistics are not currently sufficient to predict the evolution of the phenomenon. The statistical needs of large numbers and 2-3 years are few.

The reason for the rising of the Adriatic Sea is linked to lowering blood pressure delle sue acque che può aver comportato un aumento delle temperature, con il conseguente scioglimento dei ghiacciai. Sono gli effetti del global warming che si manifestano anche localmente su una città come Venezia.
