One of the most beautiful European cities Venice literally goes under water. Noteworthy, this flood is the sixth of the strongest in the history of Venice. According to the monitoring institute, approximately 70% of the city flooded due to heavy rains. Also, due to a strong South wind, which caused a sharp rise in sea level. Thus, the water level in the canal city rose to 140 cm (55 inches) above normal. Some people think it would take huge amounts of money to keep it from sinking. Money, which the rest of Italy is either unable or unwilling to give. In fact, these are the reasons why Venice floods.
