Solar-Powered Water Pumps in India: Benefits vs. Groundwater Risk

Farmers in India are using solar-powered water pumps to get water for their crops, which is good because it's a cheap and reliable source of power.

However, this is causing a problem: because the pumps are so easy to use, farmers are pumping out too much water from underground, which is causing the water level to drop.

The government has a plan to help farmers sell extra power back to the grid, but it is not working well because it is too complicated and the price is too low.

Experts say that the best way to fix this is to track how much water and electricity farmers use, and to give them a reason to use less.
