Online TV Channels Watchlist




"With the rising sea levels and more extreme weather events on the horizon, the Dutch are building houses modeled after arks. These houses become buoyant during floods."

I saw it first time in Discovery Channel and recall that I was really surprised to see tug boats pulling homes and floating homes fully built. When the river floods, the house becomes buoyant. Unlike a boat or an ark, two broad steel posts driven deep into solid ground hold the house in place.

In the past weeks [and until now] our country has been a typhoon magnet causing heavy rains and flashfloods. This design will be an impressive start to prevent hundreds of houses in the metros from sinking and hundreds  of people from drowning.
