In Jewish tradition it is commonly said that “carrying” is forbidden on Shabbat. Specifically, “transferring between two domains” (that is: moving things from a private domain (such as a house) and public domain (such as the road), and vice versa.

The eruv is a ritual enclosure whose purpose is that of creating an ideal single public space thanks to a line delimiting the whole area of Venice. The boundary of the eruv is then made up of canals. Thanks to the eruv, Jews are allowed to carry whatever they need within that public space.

Needless to say, in the event of high water all boundaries disappear, streets and canals becoming a single expanse of water. The eruv, in this case, is erased, and is no longer valid.
