Venice: sinking (Casino Royale?) or flooding?


No not Casino Royale but a problem that has been occuring in Venice for a long, long time: flooding.   Venice gets flooded by the sea for approximately 200 days a year causing problems for tourists and locals alike. 

 The authorities are hoping to build a dam by 2011 to try and reduce the problem.
