The rising population of India has led to the unmanageable use of land which ultimately leads to the destruction of our environment. Population is on the rise with each day passing and it is becoming a huge concern for the world. As per latest data (November 2018), population of the world is estimated to have reached 7.7 billion. There is no doubt that human population growth is a major contributor to global warming, given that humans uses fossil fuels to power their rapidly mechanized lifestyle. More people means more demand for oil, gas, coal and other fuels, which are mined or drilled below the surface of the earth. Burning these fossil fuels results in the emission of pollutants harmful to both human health and environment, spewing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere increasing temperature. Global warming has an enormous impact with respect to melting glaciers and ice sheets. Higher global temperatures melt glaciers adding to the amount of seawater. A large rise sea levels across the world poses many threats. With continuous increase of rise in water level, the area occupied by land decreases. It is practically difficult to live against the water, but not impossible to live with the rising water level. This project focuses on the design and construction of integrated habitable floating structure for fluctuating water level, an alternative to the land structure. The development of integrated floating structure system is a new idea and approach at present. Construction of floating structures shows that they not only have environmental benefits but also conserve onshore energy resources resulting in economic benefits.
