In places around the world, supplies of groundwater are rapidly vanishing. As aquifers decline and wells begin to go dry, people are being forced to confront a growing crisis.

Much of the planet relies on groundwater. And in places around the world – from the United States to Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America – so much water is pumped from the ground that aquifers are being rapidly depleted and wells are going dry.

Groundwater is disappearing beneath cornfields in Kansas, rice paddies in India, asparagus farms in Peru and orange groves in Morocco. As these critical water reserves are pumped beyond their limits, the threats are mounting for people who depend on aquifers to supply agriculture, sustain economies and provide drinking water. In some areas, fields have already turned to dust and farmers are struggling.

Climate change is projected to increase the stresses on water supplies, and heated disputes are erupting in places where those with deep wells can keep pumping and leave others with dry wells. Even as satellite measurements have revealed the problem’s severity on a global scale, many regions have failed to adequately address the problem. Aquifers largely remain unmanaged and unregulated, and water that seeped underground over tens of thousands of years is being gradually used up.

In this documentary, USA TODAY and The Desert Sun investigate the consequences of this emerging crisis in several of the world’s hotspots of groundwater depletion. These are stories about people on four continents confronting questions of how to safeguard their aquifers for the future – and in some cases, how to cope as the water runs out.

The Danube, one of the most remarkable rivers in Europe, contains many secrets. Not just underwater, but also along its course through Austria. In one small section of in Lower Austria the body of water has an infl uence on the surrounding landscape, which has even formed its own microclimate. One speaks of so-called "heat islands" with temperatures that reach nearly Mediterranean levels. Human beings have created a cultural landscape oriented to viticulture over a period of millennia. This is because the warm loess and clay soil promotes the flourishing of grapevines. However, not only crop plants grow there: since primeval times, flora and fauna have settled here that have no rival in Europe. They are all species that live on the slopes of the Danube mainly due to the mild temperatures, and which are often found nowhere else. This documentary follows in the tracks of the widest variety of creatures in the Mediterranean section of the Danube. Among others, the largest lizar, the largest snake in Central Europe, the western green lizard and the Aesculapian snake will be encountered; the audience is invited to take part in the family life of ground squirrels, learn that the heat islands even have their own local species of scorpion, and encounter the praying mantis, the saga pedo or the wasp spider. However, not only the animal kingdom is fascinating. Many fi eld orchids, which are threatened with extinction almost everywhere else, find a final refuge on the slopes of the Wachau Valley. The most colourful European bird, the bee-eater, still broods here in the last remaining colonies. The entire region was named a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site in 2000.

Solar System for Home: On Grid Solar System vs. Off Grid Solar System | Luminous Solar

The world is turning to solar energy - for sustainability and cost effectiveness. In this video, Luminous is talking about the two types of solar system for home - The On Grid solar System & Off Grid Solar System. Both these systems are similar and different in one key aspect, which is whether you want to save excess electricity generated and use it for running electronic appliances or you don't want to use excess electricity. Other than that, basic components like the solar panels, the solar battery and the solar inverter are common in both these systems.

If you were faced with the question of which one is better - that is on-grid vs offgrid solar system, then how would you answer that?

The basic difference between the two is that On-Grid works with the Grid system, while Off-Grid works independently off it. In the On-Grid system, the solar panels convert the solar energy into DC current and the inverter converts the DC current into AC current to power your home or business Any excess current that the solar panels create is fed back into the grid as credit which can be later drawn back in based on the requirement. However, the On-Grid system does not work during power outages so while it is cost effective, it is best used in places where the power cuts are minimum.

So what about places where there is high power outages or there is no power supply at all?
This is where the Off-Grid solar system is effective. This type of Grid system works even when there is no supply from the mains or when the solar panels don’t generate electricity.

This video is a comparison between on grid solar system and off grid solar system. For more tips on purchase, installation and maintenance, subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
