Last weekend Vicky and I spent a romantic (aka eating, sleeping, wandering) weekend in Venice. Further details to follow with some obligatory gondola photies.
Anyway, two topics of conversation needed some further research: 1) what was happening about Venice’s “sinking” (apart from Pizza Express donating 5p/pizza to some fund or other); 2) what were the sewage arrangements.
Interesting Thing of the Day: The Sinking City of Venice fortunately came to my aid, gorblessit.
Good answer on the “sinking city” + “rising sea level” combo. Plus a one-liner on the sewage (just rolls out to sea).
Can’t find any succinct arguments on the environmental concerns, so any links/hints appreciated.
Oh, here’s the latest on the costs/implementation dates from the beeb.
