What Happened If We Lived In Cities Under Water?

71% of the Earth's surface is covered with water. why don't we make use of all that underwater real estate?

If we lived underwater. there is one thing standing between us and underwater living - our bodies aren't adapted to it. if you dove 150 meters underwater without proper training or equipment, your lungs would shrivel to the size of a pop can and your veins would collspse. decending all the way to the bottom of the ocean would feel as if you were being crushed under 14 full cement trucks.

But that doesn't mean our dreams of underwater living can never come true. it just means we'd need to dream smaller. our underwater habitats would be rather small-populated with a few thousand good swimmers at most.

We'd live in small modules made of stell, glass and cement designed for underwater use. instead of going to deep into the ocean, we'd settle about 100 meters undersea.

We'd need to build life support systems that would maintain air compositions, tempreture and humidity. keeping a livable amount of oxygen in the air would be our major concern. if we wanted to make our habitat self-sustaining, we'd need to figure out how to grow plants that would produce their own oxygen.

how would we go about powering uo our oceanville?

With land-based solar panels that would transmit energy to the habitat.we could also use wave power the undersea equivalent of wind turbines.

We'd rely heavily on dehydrated and canned supplies.but don't forget about good or fishing with so many foods swimming in front of you, why not take advantage of the fresh sea market?

or drinking water would be supplied through distillation or condensation. and all our waste would most likely be flushed out into the ocean.

Underwater living isn't without its dangers, though. imagine a worst case scenerio.

Your bedroom window gets a massive crack and water rampages through your living space.or your life support system fails, leaving you to suffocate undersea. in order to stay safe, we'd need to perform regular evacuation drills and make sure our emergency alert systems were up and running at all times. you'd be wise to keep an oxygen tank on hand and have a small submarine ready to shuttle you to safety.

The cool thing about all this is that we already have the technology to make it work.

Although, so far, the longest an individual had managed to live underwater is 31 days, there arecompanies out there planing on building an underwater city like this.

Wheater it's safe enough is abother question.

Maybe building cities floating in the air would be a more feasible option.
