Venice canals almost run dry just two months after flooding
Just weeks after serious flooding caused widespread damage, the famous canals of Venice have been left almost completely dry due to exceptionally low tides, Sky news reported.
The source reminds that two months ago the high tide in Venice peaked at 187cm (6.14ft), leaving around 70% of the lagoon city centre under salt water.
The flooding left the water level at its highest in more than 50 years and there was a race against time to prevent precious artworks being lost.
But at high tide on Saturday the city was a very different sight, with its famous gondolas and boats almost beached at the bottom of canals.
