Venice proposes to lift the city 30 cm by injecting water underground to counter its sinking.
Venice, Italy, is sinking at a rate of 2 millimeters per year, exacerbated by rising sea levels.
Engineer Pietro Teatini proposes raising the city by injecting water deep underground, potentially lifting it by 30 centimeters and providing a 50-year buffer.
This would complement the existing MOSE flood barriers, which cost about six billion euros, aiding the city in developing a long-term solution.
