SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Heavy water pollution threatens historic Venice. Industrial waste, sewage and salt water combine to erode the foundations of buildings and damage the buildings themselves. Agricultural runoff flowing into the port of Venice creates conditions that promote the growth of algae, sometimes called “killer algae".

Detailed explanation-2: -There are no rivers in Venice, but canals. If somebody fell into the water and there is the risk of drawing, Vigili del Fuoco (firefighters) would rescue that person. People around will try to help until the arrival of the firefighters.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, though there are a couple of things to bear in mind if you want to see more water and less mud. Avoid taking a gondola for a couple of hours either side of low tide – the closer you are to high tide, the more water will be in the canals.
