Sometimes cloudburst have as a consequence a flash flooding, other times they have a slight impact but still to be taken into account. The mainland is the territory most at risk for floods due to persistent rains, downpour and cloudburst.ARPAV (Environmental agency for Veneto Region): Comparing the monthly revenue trend of 2017 with the average monthly rainfall of the 1993-2016 period, by averaging over the entire regional territory, the contributions indicated:significantly lower than the average in January (-77%), March (-65%), May (-28%), August (-58%) and October (-81%);significantly higher than the average in February (+ 45%), September (+ 56%) and December (+ 28%);on average in April (-2%), June (+ 3%), July (-4%) and November (-5%).

In 2018, occurred 121 events with more than 80 cm above the medium sea level.The 29 October 2018, we experienced a high tide +156 cm above medium sea level and 12 November 2019 + 1872019 mean sea level is 35 cm higher, on average, than the value computed at the beginning of the previous century (1870). The maximum increase occurred from 1930 to 1970 due to the combined effects of subsidence and eustatism. After that period, and until 2008, m.s.l. seems to attain a fairly constant value. After 2008 m.s.l. shows again an increasing trend. The increase in the number of high water levels (>110cm) since the sixties is evident. While at the beginning of the previous century we can observe one event with water levels >110 cm per year, in the past years we have, on average, 5-6 event per year. Analogously, the number of events with very low water levels has decreased.For other information, see the web page of the center for Tidal Forecast and Early Warning http://www.comune.venezia.it/it/content/centro-previsioni-e-segnalazioni-maree

It is caused by extreme weather contitions, most of all strong wind.In case of high tide (full moon, wind from the south, low atmospheric pressure) the flooding and waves can be very strong and also dangerous for things and lives.

In recent years several categories of doctors (among these, pediatricians) have established that there is a connection between air quality and respiratory diseases in the Venice area and across the Po Valley. During the winter season2017/2018/2019, several cities decided to cope with this problem ad signed an "Padan agreement" against air pollution (ant thin powder) due to traffic,transport, biomass combustion for domestic heating and agriculture (spraying of zootechnical slurry). Air pullution is caused also by ship traffic back and fourth from the Port inside the lagoon, from the airport a from motorboat.More informations here http://www.comune.venezia.it/it/content/laccordo-il-bacino-padano
