A Correlation - Groundwater and Global Warming

     The final dangerous situation arises by our mistake needed a very serious investigation. A Climate Change Conference was held in Copenhagen where the representative and experts of from 170 countries participated to prevent global warming and climate changes. The conference was centralized only on the carbon emission issues and was failed due to weak consensus on the reason for Global Warming.  But the ground reality is something else, which is more responsible for the Global Warming; was not understood yet. Now, we need to see the Global Warming with a different angle, by keeping all the unnatural events together and then only we could able to see the factual image of the Global Problem.

     . Water exploited to irrigate larger crop land by a single tube well, require more depth and heavy power load pumping set. To acquire that amount of water we started reaching at the depth of more than 1000 feet piercing multiple impermeable rock layers. Consequently, the water started flowing down from upper aquifer to lower aquifers illustrated as above, resulting Depletion of the Groundwater. Due to fall in groundwater the earth surface is lacking humidity and our Earth is losing its cooling properties in the unconfined radiators. We need more illustration and investigation on this dangerous situation that will not be less dreadful in the coming next years

     We did not have drill machines to make tube wells a few decades back to exploit groundwater in an uncontrolled manner. That time our Earth’s confining/impermeable layer was safe and the groundwater level was maintained naturally at sufficient depth so that the roots of vegetation may grow in abundance on the earth surface. Unfortunately, we have adopted those unnatural tasks which make the groundwater out of reach of the roots of vegetation. The dense forests becoming dry; catches fire due to the absence of humidity and high temperature, our earth surface is also gradually converting into the desert land with the death of the organisms. The humidity is very necessary coolant factor which is losing with the fall of groundwater, could save our earth from the Global Warming.

     Few decades back when groundwater level was high we have vegetation was in abundance. A small uncovered area of the earth surface was exposed to the direct solar radiation as compare to current situation we have and the temperature of the earth surface cannot reach more than 5-8 meters in the depth. One night was more than enough for the earth to cool down and ready to absorb the solar radiation from the next day morning. Now, we have made such bad conditions for our Planet Earth that the groundwater level is falling 1-2 meter every year and the larger area of the earth surface lacking vegetation is exposed to the direct radiation and converting into the desert which increases the temperature in depth to an extent. One night is not enough for our earth cool down completely, retaining the temperature of the previous day in its upper crust till the sunrise of the next day and start heating again.

     According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics the temperature of the previous day retained in the upper Earth Crust travels towards the cold reservoir till it reaches the thermal equilibrium. The process goes on day by day with the rapid fall of the groundwater and the temperature of the earth goes on increasing by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit every year resulting the melting of the glaciers due to which there is a Rise in the Sea water Level. Hence, the complete above illustration may define as basic cause of Global Warming. The rate of GW-Factor will be much higher in the next coming years because the people already started boring more tube wells in different areas in search of water up to an extent of a depth, till they reach the ground water.
