When it rains in Matmata, the underground Berber homes face a significant challenge. While the troglodyte dwellings are excellent at protecting against extreme heat and cold, heavy rainfall can pose a threat. The homes are dug into soft limestone, and without proper drainage systems, water can seep into the structures. The roofs of these dwellings are typically made of a mixture of earth, straw, and sometimes wood, which, while effective at insulating, can become vulnerable when exposed to prolonged wet conditions. To prevent flooding and structural damage, many of the inhabitants of Matmata have built drainage channels around their homes. These channels help direct water away from the central courtyards and living spaces. Additionally, the earth's natural ability to absorb water is helpful, but in cases of heavy rainfall, families may need to repair the roofs or reinforce walls that have become weakened by moisture. Though rain is relatively infrequent in the desert environment of Matmata, when it does occur, the community must be prepared to mitigate its impact. This resilience, combined with traditional building techniques, has allowed the troglodyte dwellings to withstand centuries of environmental challenges.

Glad you enjoyed it
