I was going to suggest putting something in the water that would discourage swimming, but I guess it needs to be worse than whatever’s already in there… and not kill the wildlife. That’s a fine line if it exists at all.
Yeah during the first lockdown they were pretty clear. The thing is that they’re incredibly shallow and muddy, and Venetians use boats as their main mode of transport (after walking) so it never settles usually
Those canals are… Disgusting. Hopefully the dysentery they contract was worth it.
Lockdown cleaned up a lot of things, but only temporarily, because our species fucking sucks.

I thought I read that the canals cleaned up quite a bit after COVID, due to no tourists being around. Are they back to being disgusting?

They really really are. I don’t know how anyone with more braincells than teeth could look at that water and want to swim in it
