A floating farm will also not gain the benefits of floods (Nice, fresh nutrients). These are things to take into account as well. | |

It would allow for the city to exist once they're complete, but it still asks how were they built? Did the people settle here with ships, and turn those ships into the first floating farms? Did there used to be some "Protected" areas that are now city, and floating farms were built as the land was built on? | |

Between dry season farming on terra firma wet season floating farms, and fishing, the agricultural productivity is as high as in any river valley civilization. | |
