In India, one of our major
problem is the steadily increasing population. With the rise in population, the
land available for every person reduces. Already there is huge shortage of land
that people keep building tall buildings to accommodate everyone.
One alternative that is on the
rise is the Dutch way of living! The Dutch to tackle the increasing population,
started building houses on the sea front, water front, etc, below sea level. It
is like a ship with a house built on it. These amphibious homes have hollow
concrete foundation that acts like the hull of the ships, rising and falling
with tides. This structure is connected to the mooring posts that keep it from
drifting away.
It is an enhanced ‘ecoboat’
design where the water and wave energy will be used to heat the home and filter
sea water for drinking.
You don’t have to go on a
vacation to stay on a house boat. Wait for few years, you will probably build
your own house boat! '
