Objectives / Research Question

• The impacts of floating urbanization on water quality

and ecology are largely unknown by water authorities

and municipalities (needed for policy framework and

regulations).

• Research question: What are the (negative and

positive) impacts of floating urban development on

water quality and ecology?

*Hypotheses

* The shadow of floating houses reduces available sunlight. This lowers

the dissolved oxygen levels in their vicinity.

* Below the floating houses a hypoxic area is created and oxygen is

transferred laterally by the adjacent water column. This lowers the

dissolved oxygen levels in their vicinity.

*Wind tunnel effect is produced by the floating houses increasing the

turbulence of the water. This increases the mixing in the water column

which reduces the dissolved oxygen vertical gradient.
