Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why the Dutch embrace floating homes
The Netherlands means “lower countries.” In fact, most of the country is built on reclaimed land and a third of which is below sea level. It is a small densely populated country but demands for homes are growing. Should they reclaim more land while the sea level is rising? One solution is to build houses in the water, called floating houses. Unlike houseboats, floating houses are attached to a pillar which allows the house to bob up and down. So, those houses ascend when waters rise and descend when they recede. They are often prefabricated in other places and then brought to the place where local sewer and power systems are installed. They are indeed resistant to sea level rise but are shaken by the severe wind, rain, and waves.
Which sounds safer and more comfortable to live in, a lower land or floating house?
Enjoy reading the article to learn about a new way of living on the waterfront.
