'Super Blue Moon Blood' has made the romantic city of Venice fall into this tragedy

Venice is a dreamy city with a legendary canal system, considered the most famous heritage in the world.

Century astronomical phenomenon has made the romantic city of Venice become dry.

Recently, astronomers in Vietnam and many parts of the world have witnessed an event of a century scale, when the trio happened at the same time.

It is indeed an "eye- catching " event, all those who watch the moon that day feel satisfied. However, the people of Venice (Italy) are different, because the city is suffering from an unpleasant side effect of the super moon.

For unknown people, which is a poetic city with a legendary canal system, is considered the most known heritage in the world. Located in the northeast of Italy, Venice is like a giant spider web made up of 118 islands and 175 canals, connected by 444 bridges.

But right now, Venice is no longer dreaming. See the picture below that you understand right away.

The canal system in Venice is running out of water.

You don't look wrong! Currently, the canal system in Venice is running out of water. The reason is partly because the last "Super Blue Blood Moon" has caused the tide to plummet.

Besides, extreme winter weather, accompanied by extremely little rainfall recently, are also contributing factors to creating tragedy for Venice.

It is known that this is the third year in a row that this phenomenon happened to Venice. But this year due to the influence of the Super Blue Moon, it became heavier.

As noted, the water level at this time has decreased to 58cm. Circulating by boat bottom or water taxi types stalled all day. The boats covered the canvas and lay still on the bottomless channel, revealing mud and mud into a thick layer.

In addition, it is important to know that life in Venice is not as poetic as one might imagine. Besides the shallow canal, the city also has to deal with several times of flooding in the year. The basement and ground floor of many buildings are frequently flooded, causing local residents to travel by elevated walkways.

Occasionally, it is okay, but it is inconvenient in regular times. Moreover, due to the booming tourism industry, consumer prices in this city also increased dramatically. Consequently, since 1951, Venice's visitors have continuously increased, while the population here has decreased from 175,000 to only about 55,000.
