Water Levels in Venice

Water level in Venice changes constantly according to the tide that pushes water into the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea and draws it out again, twice a day, regulated by the moon. Meteorological factors like wind and atmospheric pressure further influence water level both in the Adriatic region and within the Venice Lagoon.

Water in the lagoon is linked to the canal network of the historic centre, give or take some time lag. The morphology of the lagoon influences this, and the behaviour of water in the inner canals of Venice critically affects the health of the urban fabric.
