今年10月3日，在“亚历克斯”风暴期间，MOSE防洪系统首次成功保护了威尼斯。这一项目拖延已久，但终于在今年完成。官员们曾预计最坏的情况是涨潮1.3米，但事实证明移动漂浮结构可以有效地工作。

The much delayed yet recently completed MOSE flood barrier system has successfully protected Venice for the first time on Saturday, October 3rd 2020, during storm Alex. Officials had anticipated the worst with a forecasted tide of 1.30m (4.27ft), but the mobile floating architecture worked effectively.

威尼斯市长Luigi Brugnaro说道：“今天，一切保持干燥。我们阻止了海潮的涌入。”“这里发生过很多不好的事情，但现在有一些美好的事情发生了。”此前的2019年11月，威尼斯发生了50年来最严重的洪灾，致使圣马可广场被淹没在1米深的水下。

‘Today, everything is dry. We stopped the sea,‘ city mayor Luigi Brugnaro told reporters on Saturday. ‘Lots of bad things have happened here, but now something wonderful has happened.‘ It follows the worst floods in 50 years that left St Mark’s square submerged under a meter of water in November 2019.

MOSE防洪系统位于Lido、Malamocco和Chioggia处的入海口，将亚得里亚海与威尼斯泻湖分开。防洪系统由78个亮黄色的挡板组成。平时水闸充满了水，不启动时完全看不见。当出现特别的涨潮时，就会引入压缩空气，将挡板升起，阻挡涌入的潮水。

Located at the inlets of Lido, Malamocco and Chioggia that divide the Adriatic sea from the Venice lagoon, the MOSE flood barrier system comprises a network of 78 bright yellow guards. To offer a defense of the entire lagoon, the floodgates lie full of water and completely invisible in housing when inactive. Compressed air is then introduced in the event of a particularly high tide. The barriers thus rise up and block the flow of the incoming tide.

近年来，尤其是2019年，威尼斯越来越频繁地遭遇洪水，水位越来越高，因此MOSE防洪系统非常有必要。它的设计是为了保护城市不受高达3米的潮水的影响。此外，水闸还保证了泻湖的水质，保护景观，帮助维持港口活动。

The MOSE flood barrier system was greatly needed due to the increasing frequent and intense high waters that hit Venice over the recent years, most notably in 2019. It is designed to protect the city from tides of up to 3 meters – much higher than the forecast tide on the Saturday. As well, the floodgates also guarantees the quality of the water in the lagoon, protection of the landscape, and the maintenance of the port activity.
