When I was in elementary school in Venice, a survey was given to our class with 3 choices of resolving the high tide in Venice, out of the choices I remember picking Moses, fast forward to 20 years later. I had moved to the USA and went to Italy for a year with my husband and his job during that year (2018) was to work on the Moses project. Funny how life works sometimes
In our town they put some barriers into the city river. It worked great in no longer flooding the homes… problem is that the flooding ended up in another part of town where the flooding was much worse ….

The Dutch are the premiere flood protection/water barrier builders. Their flood gate systems and river lock systems are ingenious.
Should have asked the Dutch😂
The next Fast and Furious movie will definitely have Dom Toretto driving over these in reverse 😂😂
“Here’s how it’s
"Heres how its supposed to work."
As soon as they were lifted, sand and rocks began to fill in behind it and they couldn't be lowered all the way down. Smart.

If the Dutch say it won't stop water, it won't stop water
“Sir, our town is flooding, what shall we do?”
“Strategically placed” yeah if only they had done that for the city itself
Archeologists in 4024: so... what the hell was this?
