Venice’s canals are running dry – NEWS 360 – WORLD

Rome: European countries went through record heat last year. Italy is afraid that this will happen once more this time. In the Italian city of Venice, which has experienced weeks of dry weather without rain, the canals have dried up and are causing concern. Hundreds of tourists arrive in Venice every day to travel through the canals to enjoy the beautiful sights of the city. But small canals have dried up and silt has started to appear, which has started affecting the arrival of tourists. When you hear the word Venice, the first thing that comes to mind are the boats known as ‘gondola’ that lazily float along the canals. Tourists are not satisfied without a gondola ride to see the stunning medieval architecture of Venice, its buildings and bridges. The disappearance of water in the canals also worries hundreds of gondola rowers. At the same time, the Alps received less than half the usual amount of snow, a sign of warmer temperatures.Water levels have also dropped significantly in aquifers, including Italy’s longest river, the Po.
