The document discusses the issue of unsustainable groundwater use and proposes various transitional solutions, such as using solar power for irrigation pumps in India instead of electricity from the grid, in order to reduce energy consumption and help recover water tables. It highlights a pilot project in India that provided farmers income by having them sell surplus solar power to the grid and receive bonuses for conserving water and energy. The document argues that taking a hybrid approach of solar irrigation with feed-in tariffs can provide both agricultural livelihoods and help address issues in energy, water, and climate.
