What is the future of the Veneto region given the threats posed by rising sea levels, heavy rainfall, floods and drought?
Three regional territories are reimagined in 2100 by taking multiple water-based threats and opportunities as the starting point. Widening the riverbeds, establishing spatial corridors to buffer peak water flow, replenishing the groundwater through the use of new reservoirs, storing water to counteract periods of drought, leaving room for the interplay of the rivers and the sea, and accommodating the rising seawater levels are all strategies for shaping a more resilient Veneto.
