Venice faces unusually low tides that are making it impossible for gondolas and other boats to navigate some of its famous canals.
Venice tourists may have to scrap their plans for romantic gondola rides – as the famed City of Water is in for a dry spell.
Concerns also have mounted that Italy could be in for another drought after last summer’s emergency, according to the outlet, which cited scientists and environmental groups. On Monday, the Legambiente environmental group said rivers across Italy have been affected by a severe lack of water – including the Po, the country’s longest, which has 61% less water than normal at this time of year, Reuters reported.
