Wet wet wet

The main characteristic of the wet plain of Veneto Region is the impermeable condition of its soil. The landscape is the result of the reclaimed land of an ancient lagoon. The water management is mainly via the ground through the existing system of wells (that hasten the salinisation of the underground water); the drainage system includes channels that drive the excess fresh water into the sea. The wet plain presents a flood risk in occurrence of peak events. In addition to this and due to climate change, more problems are added with the rise in the sea level. Certainly, do to its position, the area is directly related with the dry plain and to the coastline. We assume the scenario of a better water management in order to control flooding in the dry plain. Likewise we assume the possible coastline scenarios of resilience or resistence.
