In pictures: Climate-related inventions that will change the future

ArabiaWeather.com - Large areas of the world are witnessing severe weather conditions, which we can describe as extreme. Some of them witness heavy rains that cause floods and disasters, while others witness severe droughts that lead to famines and fires.

Dealing with these harsh climatic conditions requires taking effective steps. To reduce its impact on the lives of humans and other living organisms in those areas by seriously considering the exploitation of existing resources to obtain food, energy and water, and to improve the living conditions.

Fortunately, there are many people in the world who work hard to find solutions to the countless problems caused by harsh climatic conditions, and they found a number of inventions and innovations that can contribute to challenging these conditions, and here we mention 4 of these inventions that were reached which will change a lot in the future.

Power generation buildings

The idea of these buildings stems from the exploitation of renewable energy sources found in nature, such as the sun and wind, in the production of electrical energy.

Drought-tolerant crops

The danger of drought is not limited to humans only, but also threatens crops and plants in the areas that suffer from it, leading to great and serious economic losses and possibly leading to famine in poor countries.

To overcome the threat of drought on agricultural crops, scientists have found drought-resistant crops. Either through genetic engineering or the use of compounds and substances that prevent water loss in plants, as the scientist, River Side of the University of California, discovered the plant hormone that leads to the closure of the pores in the leaves of plants; to retain more water.

Floating houses and cities

French architect Vincent Callebaut designed the concept of a floating city, which would generate its own energy; To face the danger of flooding cities in the future due to climate change.

Nigerian architect Kunle Adeyemi is implementing the Makoko Floating School project, located in Lagos, Nigeria, where the people of Makoko depend on fishing.

- artificial glaciers

It is considered one of the cheap and creative solutions reached by retired civil engineer Shewang Norville, to the problems of residents and farmers in areas that depended on the melting of glaciers in the Himalayas and the Sierra Nevada mountains, where the melting of those rivers led to drought in some of those villages and regions.

Norville's glaciers idea relies on building irrigation canals and water tanks for water that freezes during the winter to be used during the spring and summer.
