When Venice may be finally submerged: scientists named the date.

According to research by scientists, Venice could be completely submerged by the year 2150. Emissions of carbon dioxide and climate change lead to rising sea levels, which threaten the city with significant flooding. Researchers conducted flood modeling for various years, including 2050, 2100, and 2150. The worst-case scenario anticipates that by the mid-22nd century, the area of Venice that will be submerged will range from 139 to 226 square kilometers.

Without additional protective measures, this will lead to flooding and significant damage to both the local population and the cultural heritage of Venice.

According to scientific explanations, the 'high water' effect is caused by climate change, which leads to a constant rise in sea levels and a decrease in land elevation. In recent years, this process has been occurring at a rate of 7 millimeters per year.

To protect the city from flooding, a mobile barrier system has been developed to close off the lagoon during floods. The 'Moses' dam has been successfully protecting Venice from 'high water' for several years.

Venice is located on a natural cushion of small islands in the Adriatic Sea lagoon and is a special place for the phenomenon of 'high water', which depends on sea tides. The water periodically rises and provides St. Mark's with a slight flooding.

The Mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, presented an award to a fighter from the reconnaissance battalion of the Third Assault Brigade 'Yanis', who saved a foreigner.
