      You might imagine that any humans before the early modern age were "dumb unwashed god fearing peasents" but the truth is that humans were always really smart and a lot of innovation was done throughout the ages. The examples of it being things such as aqueduct and roman plumbing (which brought in hot water to bathing houses) . The ancient Persians figured out how to make ice, in a desert environment!
      A Greek inventor figured out steam power over a thousand years ago before the industrial revolution (though he didn't see how steam power could be used and saw it as a mere novelty use)
      Another Greek philosopher also theorised, that if you cut an object in half, and then kept cutting that object in half you would end up with a tiny object that you could no longer divide, and that tiny object was the base for all things on earth. In other words he just theorised the existence of atoms!
      What I'm trying to get at is that humans were always really smart, and media or poor history texts make it seem like it was the opposite.

Look up "Manufacturing Consent", and consider why a certain political party called themselves "national socialists" while killing all of the socialists.

    Fun fact: they used to pump too much water from those wells, with the result that Venice was slowly sinking ("subsiding"), which manifested as sea-level rise. That was a significant problem, because Venice is very, very low lying. About forty years ago they curtailed the excess water pumping, and the subsidence decreased.

      It’s easy to forget that human beings have been as intelligent (some evidence for MORE intelligent) as we are today for at least 40,000 years. Take away all of our modern technology and think about how you would solve a similar problem in their position. Indigenous people the world over know about and practice water catchment. It’s entirely reasonable that Venicians centuries ago would simply apply the same concept on a much larger scale.
      “Guys, guys, I was thinking… how about we make a water catchment but like, guys, guys, hear me out, but it’s like the ENTIRE town square? Think about it. Like it’ll be a clay pot but like a giant clay pot as deep as we can dig and then we fill it with sand so weeds don’t grow and then in the middle we just have a well like normal.”

    and another interesting fact about Venice (IT):
    the whole city is built on wooden poles, but since they feared that sea water could make the poles rott they covered them in clay, but not any normal clay a compost of high quality pottery clay, vulcanic clay and lime rich clay, this compost made the poles impervious to water and air, and they got to build the city on top of them. BUT the real important part is that after many year of pressure, air sealed space and without humidity, now those wooden pole are almost done fossilizing and they are just like stone, so it's the first ever exemple of human made fossils, a city build on stone wood poles

Before "christ", in other words before abrahamism, the World was an amazing place; hence the so-called wonders, which were not wonders back then but were normal, usual things. It is since abrahamism, and for my part of the World christianity specifically, that idiocy and wonder entered for shock and awe, and "faith" instead of KNOWLEDGE. The Ancient Romans were about as advanced as we were back in the Atomic Age - and the Ancient Romans were... well... in ancient times. Education and media lies to us and tries to make us BELIEVE things, instead of helping us to KNOW things.
      As you say, engineering certainly isn't modern at all. Before "christ", or Before the Common Era, people were in tune with Nature and Science; since abrahamism, and thanks to christianity, in the dark ages we had about 1000 years of no scientific advancement, and knowledge was destroyed or corrupted, and "faith" was enforced. That explains a lot.
      We're relearning Nature and Science. We're cancelling abrahamism. We're retaking the Planet that is rightly ours. Nonsense like "faith" is being replaced with the eternal Nature and Science and Knowledge.

Furthermore, when the Venetian Republic was at its peak population in the 1600s it built a canal 13.5 km long and 1 m wide on the mainland bringing fresh water to the coast near Venice. Many boats would load up with water and bring it to the city to fill up the wells.

    Not so medieval - the bulk of our drinkable water is surface water that percolates through sand filters/basins. Another great Venetian innovation was the production line - yes, Henry Ford-type production line. For centuries, Venice was not only a major European power, but the pre-eminent shipbuilder through their development of a production line - the Arsenale - for building ships upon which her military and economic survival depended. She was an early adopter of standardization whereby ships were built to established standards as opposed to almost the previous practice of ship building guilds that built ships one-at-a-time.

      Going back to land wasn't exactly a great idea at the time. Political issues. + Land rights.
      + There was already some people living out in the lagoon.
      So merchant groups formed up and basically got the rights to the area for cheap.
      A place with less taxes and access to the sea.
      Great for trade. Especially since many fleets would need to sail up the whole Adriatic to get to the place.
