威尼斯位于意大利北部,是亚得里亚海上的一个半岛,三面临海。城市与大海之间有盐碱滩和泥滩起防护作用。由于全球温室效应造成的海平面升高,十年来,水城不断遭洪水袭击,每年全城大部分建筑物有十个月时间泡在水里。没有水,威尼斯不会成为举世闻名的水城,而水太多了也烦人。 近年来,威尼斯周围发现储有天然气,经过开采后,造成了地面沉降。加上城市用水量不断增加,大量抽取地下水资源,进一步加速了水城的下降速度。这边下沉,那边海水又在上涨,天灾人祸使水城已面临灭项之灾。 Located in the northern part of Italy, Venice is a peninsula on the Adriatic Sea, on three sides facing the sea. Between the city and the sea there are saltwater beaches and mudflats play a protective role. Due to the sea level rise caused by global warming, over the past decade, the city has been hit by floods. Most of the buildings in the city spend 10 months in the water every year. Without water, Venice will not be a world-famous water city, and water is too much and annoying. In recent years, gas reserves have been found around Venice, causing ground subsidence after mining. Coupled with the increasing use of water in urban areas, a large number of extraction of groundwater resources to further speed up the decline of Watertown. Sinking here, over there sea water is rising, natural disasters make Watertown have been cut off the disaster.
