Sa.Ve. En.

Sa.Ve. is a scalable project for the conservation of Venice and its lagoon.

The basic project concerns a patented system for the regulation of the water level in the Venice lagoon by regulating the water flows in its emissaries.

Special barriers are placed at the three inlets to protect Venice and its lagoon to avoid the phenomenon of high water in Venice.

Individually in each of the lagoon's outlets, through the dams, the water flows are regulated, from the sea to the lagoon and vice versa.

The basic project can be integrated with a patented system for change of water in the Venice lagoon.

The system exchanges water by generating water flows from the sea to the lagoon and vice versa.

The change is carried out, also and above all, when the sea level remains higher than that of the lagoon and the dams remain closed, even for consecutive days.

The water exchange system is also scalable to obtain a widespread distribution with increasing capillarity.

It runs exclusively on renewable energy produced by the tides without any consumption of energy from fossil fuels.

The integration of the two systems can be further integrated with a patented system for the containment, in the lagoon and in particular in Venice, of the erosion of banks and foundations due to the flow of water against them and for the containment of the phenomenon of deposition of unwanted sediments which can even partially obstruct rivlets and canals.

The concept, referring to the not particularly happy neologism "scalability", the Venetians have always known, over the centuries they have built the marvelous Venice and, with tenacity and sagacity, have gradually diverted rivers, dug canals in the lagoon, built sea dams and carried out other daring and ingenious works to preserve Venice.

they have built the wonderful Venice and over the centuries, with tenacity and sagacity, they have gradually diverted rivers, dug canals in the lagoon, built dams in the sea and other daring and ingenious works to preserve Venice.

The gradualness, in carrying out ambitious projects, allows to verify the results as obtained and allows to calibrate the further interventions, to avoid damage and waste, even economic.

In order for good projects to be carried out gradually, it is good and perhaps essential to have an overview of what, albeit gradually, one intends to achieve.

The delicate ecosystem of the lagoon should not be lacerated by impromptu and sectoral interventions, expensive and invasive, but with respect and deference, be preserved in its integrity with protection projects to be carried out with a far-sighted perspective and an overall vision.

For example, whichever way the dams work, when they are closed, the problem of water exchange in the lagoon could become urgent. It is therefore good to ask the problem immediately, even if it will be done gradually.

The Sa.Ve. , as a whole, is designed to integrate with the current infrastructures for the protection of the lagoon and its individual parts are even more so.

The love and veneration of the Venetians and the whole world for Venice will guide for the best and preserve Venice, as has always been the case up to now.
