You rarely see something like this in the northern Italian lagoon city of Venice: the boats are drying up in the small canals. The reason for this is an extreme low water, which was observed there on Friday. This circumstance then made the transport of people and goods much more difficult. Because almost everything in Venice has to be brought and picked up either by water or on foot. And the rescue services unfortunately had to do without the approach through some channels on Friday. As a result, some paths are likely to have been significantly lengthened. However, it is natural that a strong low tide occasionally draws the water out of the canals. Just as it can happen in Venice when there is a high tide, squares and houses are flooded.
