NgoNovemba 19th minyaka yonke kunguMhlabaUkuzilungisaUsuku. I-International Lander Organisation ibamba imisebenzi ngalolu suku ukwenza isintu sazi ukuthi kusenabantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-2,05 emhlabeni abangenalo ukuvikelwa kwendle okunempilo. Kepha thina esingajabulela izindawo zangasese zanamuhla, sike saqonda yini ngempela umsuka wezindlu zangasese?
Akwaziwa ukuthi ngubani owasungula indlu yangasese ekuqaleni. Ama-Scots okuqala namaGrikhi athi bangabasunguli bangempela, kepha abukho ubufakazi. Kusukela ngo-3000 BC esikhathini seNeolithic, kwakukhona umuntu ogama lakhe linguSkara Brae eMainland Scotland. Wakha indlu enamatshe wavula umhubhe onwebeka ekhoneni lendlu. Izazi-mlando zikholelwa ukuthi lo mklamo kwakuwuphawu lwabantu bokuqala. Ukuqala kokuxazulula inkinga yangasese. Cishe ngo-1700 BC, esiGasos Palace eKrethelweni, umsebenzi kanye nokwakhiwa kwendlu yangasese kwacaca. Amapayipi wobumba axhumeke ohlelweni lokuhlinzekwa kwamanzi. Amanzi asakazwa ngamapayipu wobumba, akwazi ukubhoboza indlu yangasese. Indima yamanzi.
Ngo-1880, isikhulu sase-Edward waseNgilandi (yakamuva yeNkosi u-Edward VII) yaqashwa uThomas Crapper, ipulangwe elaziwayo lesikhathi, ukwakha amathoyilethi ezindlini zasendlini eziningi zasebukhosini. Yize i-crapper kuthiwa yasungulwa ukusungulwa okuningi okuhlobene nendlu yangasese, i-crapper akuyona umsunguli wethoyilethi lesimanje njengoba wonke umuntu ecabanga. Ubengowokuqala nje ukwenza ukusungulwa kwakhe kwendlu yangasese kwaziwe emphakathini ngesimo sehholo lombukiso, ukuze umphakathi ulungise noma udinga imishini ethile, ngokushesha babecabanga ngaye.
Isikhathi lapho izitho zangasese zezobuchwepheshe zihamba ngempela zazingekhulu lama-20: ama-valves afunge, amathangi amanzi, kanye namaphepha asendlini yangasese (asungula ngo-1890 futhi asetshenziswa kabanzi kuze kube ngu-1902). Lokhu kusungulwa kanye nendalo kungabonakala kukuncane, kepha manje kubonakala sengathi sekuyizinto ezibalulekile. Uma usacabanga lokhoindlu yangasese yesimanjeawukashintshi okuningi, khona-ke ake sibheke: Ngo-1994, iPhalamende laseBrithani ladlula umthetho wenqubomgomo yamandla, edinga okujwayelekileIndlu yangasese efuleUkuze ugcwale amalitha amanzi ayi-1.6 kuphela ngesikhathi, ingxenye yalokho okwakusetshenziswa ngaphambili. Le nqubomgomo ibiphikiswa ngabantu ngoba izindlu zangasese eziningi zazivinjelwe, kepha izinkampani zokuhlanzeka ngokushesha zasungulwa amasistimu wendlu yangasese. Lezi zinhlelo yizo ezisebenzisa nsuku zonke, ezaziwa nangokuthi zanamuhlaIndlu yangaseseizinhlelo.
