In Fletcher and Spencer 2005). Originally, the lagoon was a river delta, a swampy marsh into which three major rivers and many tributaries flowed (Lauritzen 1986). However, all the major rivers mouths were diverted to reduce sedimentation and the openings on the Lido were reduced in size in order to accelerate the tidal current and sweep the lagoon free of any accumulated sediment. Dredging of new deepwater canals, salt marsh destruction, and creation of fishing enclosures all contributed to altering tidal patterns in the lagoon (Pertot 2004).
The refugees found the lagoon ideal in that it was both too deep and too shallow for, respectively, either maritime or terrestrial invasions. In this regard, the defensive walls were the surrounding immense “liquid plains” (Crouzet-Pavan 2002). This lagoon security turned out to be justified when one realizes that Venice is the only Italian city which from its foundation to Napoleonic times has never been invaded (Lauritzen 1986). Early colonists consolidated the mudflats with mats of woven reeds as do water dwellers in the Iraqi marshlands and on Lake Titicaca today (France 2007a, 2008a).
