MOSE (MOdulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico, ''Experimental Electromechanical Module'') is a project intended to protect the city of Venice, Italy, and the Venetian Lagoon from flooding. The project is an integrated system consisting of rows of mobile gates installed at the Lido, Malamocco and Chioggia inlets that are able to temporarily isolate the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea during high tides. Together with other measures such as coastal reinforcement, the raising of quaysides, and the paving and improvement of the lagoon, MOSE is designed to protect Venice and the lagoon from tides of up to . The ''Consorzio Venezia Nuova''〔The Consorzio Venezia Nuova is responsible for work to safeguard Venice and the lagoon delegated to the State on behalf of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport – Venice Water Authority, according to the provisions of the Special Law for Venice (Law no. 798 of 1984). Made up of a group of national and local construction companies, to carry out its task it has created a structure able to plan, organise and manage all phases of all activities.〕 is responsible for the work on behalf of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport – Venice Water Authority.〔The Water Authority is heir to the historic office of the Serenissima set up in 1501. It is now the local organ of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport with direct primary responsibility for the safeguarding, safety and hydraulic protection of a large area including, in particular, the Venice lagoon.〕 Construction began simultaneously in 2003 at all three lagoon inlets, and , 80% of the project has been completed.〔(Page on the project at water-technology.net )〕 ==Origin of the name== Before the acronym was used to describe the entire flood protection system, MOSE referred to the 1:1 scale prototype of a gate that had been tested between 1988 and 1992 at the Lido inlet. The name also holds a dual meaning, as MOSE is an allusion to the biblical character Moses ("Mosè" in Italian), who is remembered for the story where he parted the Red Sea. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MOSE Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
