RE: UN-backed floating city built to withstand Category 5 hurricanes is headed to South Korea - Business Insider
That's very cool! Do you know how it's constructed? It looks like there are stakes to hold it in place and I assume there's some sort of fastening so it can rise up and down with the water level? What is used to hold the soil, though?
These are made by simple method. The first is the accumulation of floating substances in the water, such as water hyacinth. The soil is given on that tall pile. The soils are also floating. And vegetables are planted on it...
Fascinating. Thanks! By searching for "water hyacinth" and "floating garden", I found this related video:
And also this video showing a team who's using a similar concept to create "floating wetlands" in Boston's Charles River (Massachusetts, United States).
The first video happened in Bangladesh. There are many farmers who do not have enough cultivable land, they cultivate in this way. Thank you for sharing these videos. i hope you like this method for cultivate...
You can watching this video, a Malaysian village. Hope you enjoy...
Nice to meet you. By the way, where are you from? (I am a Bangladeshi)
Thanks for the video. It was very interesting. I was surprised to learn that they don't know their own ages because they don't have words to describe the passage of time like days of the week or months of the year. It also made me curious to know how the speaker knew about those concepts, since it's not built into their language. Some ideas exchanged with speakers of other languages, it would seem, but I wonder about who, how, and when.
Nice to meet you, too. I'm from Pennsylvania, in the United States.
