The lowest side ,that's the first one to be flooded by the "acqua alta" (flood tide), is the St.Mark's square that's abt 2 feet on the sea level. The average elevation is around 4-5 feet on the sea level. |

its on sea level and it keeps sinking. I know because when I visited St. Marks Square, it was evening and the square was under water. |

The cities of Venice, Italy and New Orleans, Louisiana have a tremendous problem in common, they are build on river sediments and are slowly sinking into the sea. Venice (the old city) is currently virtually exactly at sea level (and sinking) while New Orleans is already around 6 feet BELOW sea level (and sinking) and has had to be protected by levees surrounding it which keep the Mississippi River and a large lake and the water from the Gulf of Mexico out. The concept described here suggests a possible way that either or both cities might be actually physically raised up (at the rate of around an inch per month), such that either or both cities might eventually be high enough not to have to have survival concerns regarding being inundated by water. In the case of Venice, by the year 2050, the old (historic) portion of Venice will be permanently lost under the Adriatic Sea. In the case of New Orleans, the city's future really depends on how well all the hundred miles of levees can withstand hurricanes and terrorist bombings. |
