As the new year begins

Reiko Chikada had spent the winter break in Benetsia of Italy at the end of last December. Saint Mark's Square is soddenness for four hours between the high-tides every day. The tourist cannot help walking in succession on the passing board of about 1m width. However, It was settled with hod degree 15 years ago, now 40 centimeters height is needed. Water overflows on not only Saint Mark's Square but also various places of the road in Benetsia. It is 25 centimeters in a deep place. If not boots, gets wet. Dob and sewage might flow, so I had not wont to get wet. A tightfisted stainless board is set in the entrance of shops for the flood prevention. Still, the clerk is busy to get rid of the water that soaks through somewhere every morning. The waste water pump is installed from the floor to the height of about 40 centimeters in any house, water has been exhausted from here and there to the road. it is shrouded in smell that gets damp and fishy smells after water pulls completely.
If this is Japan, the tide embankment is already have been made in the waterside. Between protecting spectacle in beautiful waterside, and threat of nature. How do the Benetsia citizens solve this difficult problem? Global warming and subsidence. Various influences begin to appear in Japan. It's tickler. As one of the earthlings, my being able to do is designs that uses energy efficiently up to now.
