Venice, known as the “City of Canals,” is a unique and picturesque Italian city built on a group of small islands in the Venetian Lagoon. The city’s canals, which serve as the primary means of transportation for locals and tourists alike, have been experiencing an unusual phenomenon in recent times.
Venice life: No rain, no gain
Due to a combination of low tide and lack of rainfall, some of the canals in Venice are running dry, causing concern among locals and visitors. While the low tide is a common occurrence in the city, the lack of rain has exacerbated the situation, resulting in the water levels in some canals dropping to dangerous levels.
The situation is not only a concern for the city’s iconic gondolas and water taxis, but also for the local marine life, which relies on the canals for their habitat. The low water levels could also potentially damage the centuries-old buildings that line the canals.

Local authorities are closely monitoring the situation and taking steps to mitigate the impact. In the meantime, tourists are urged to be mindful of the water levels when traversing the canals and to continue supporting the city’s economy by patronizing local businesses.
