One day when I visited my basement during rain storm, I found my cellar flooded. I got worried and abruptly called experts to remove water from there. They came with some high capacity machinery to suck water out. They wiped my cellar and put there some dehumidifiers to clean out the place properly. After that they washed out the whole place properly to ensure that it was safe from mould.
That very night I watched a night show, where experts were talking about Italy, Venice. I got from there that they were suffering from damp problems. In the report they also told that Venice was in more bad condition than other areas. They added that the Government of America had speeded up his plans to flood restoration.
In Venice mostly houses are built with wooden piles. It is said that 1000 years ago the whole city was sunk into marshy ground. U.S study did not agree with this statement. They had different views about the Venice. According to U.S report Venice was waned into marshy area up to 24 centimeters. They told that it happened 100 years ago instead of 1000 years. Another report prepared by Paolo Costa rejected the above statistics. This report was proposed in 1966. He brought forth new and strange facts about the Venice future. According to him, in future it would sink 30 to 50 centimeters down by 2050. He presented a new project of moveable dams named Moses to save the city. This project demanded almost $4 billion.
Within past 36 years many plans and projects were given to make the Venice city flood free. Environmentalists were also much concerned about this issue. Some environmentalists said that the construction strategy could disturb the environmental balance. They thought that the construction of dams could not save the city from floods.
The flood damage is inevitable. If the flood comes, no humidifiers will hinder its way. There is a need to adopt some other strategy to make the Venice flood free
