Geotextiles are used for drainage to either convey or allow water penetration and to prevent the mixing of two different materials; geomembranes are used to contain liquids in ponds or wastes in landfills; geogrids and geocells are used for load support and to increase the bearing capacity of weak soils; and geocells as well as a variety of turf reinforcement mats (TRM) and erosion control blankets (ECB) are used for slope and channel protection and erosion control.

Floods effects are further worsened due to greater erosion by the sea caused by human interventions to facilitate port activities (e.g. jetties, artificial canals); establishment of the industrial Porto Marghera area; and increased wash from motorized boats, which aggravate erosion of morphological structures and the foundations of quaysides and buildings.
The mountains in the park are erosional remnants of resistant igneous rocks that remained after an ancient Mesozoic peneplain surface was uplifted in the Cenozoic to form a plateau, and subsequently dissected via millions of years of erosion by wind, water and glacial ice.
