Today we toured historical well sites. We started with a morning lecture discussing the construction, historical significance, and effectiveness of these well sites; concluding with a practical exercise in which students estimated the capabilities of a specific well. The afternoon consisted of a guided tour to multiple ancient well sites around Venice; looking further into historical and engineering aspects of the wells. One specific well we toured was inside of a monastery, which included both exquisite Venetian architecture as well as engineering topics.
