Venice, Italy, historically managed wastewater through a network of underground sewers that collected sewage from buildings and houses. However, due to its unique canal-based urban layout, some wastewater found its way into the city's canals.

Over time, this antiquated system posed environmental challenges and impacted water quality. To address these issues, Venice transitioned to a more modern wastewater management system.

This modernization includes the establishment of treatment plants that process wastewater before it is released into the surrounding lagoon, helping to protect the city's delicate ecosystem and improve the quality of its iconic canals.
