                                              Mysteries of Parashar Lake  Introduction    Parashar Lake is a serene, mystical water body located in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush meadows, this sacred lake lies at an altitude of around 2,730 meters. What makes it truly intriguing is not just its natural beauty, but the numerous legends and mysteries associated with it. Devotees, trekkers, and mystics are all drawn to its divine aura and unexplained phenomena.    1. The Floating Island    One of the most fascinating aspects of Parashar Lake is the presence of a floating circular island. This mass of vegetation drifts from one side of the lake to another, without any clear pattern or explanation. Scientists have not yet determined what causes it to move. According to locals, its m...

China’s Groundwater Extraction and Earth’s Rotation Large-scale groundwater pumping in China, especially in the North China Plain, has dramatically lowered aquifers but only subtly affects Earth’s spin. Satellite gravity data (GRACE) show that China’s North China Plain lost water at about 8.3 ± 1.1 km³ per year (2003–2010) due to irrigation pumping. In that region over two-thirds of irrigation water comes from groundwater. (China’s total groundwater withdrawal reached hundreds of billions of m³/yr by the 2010s.) Such pumping shifts huge mass from underground reservoirs to the surface. Much of the pumped water eventually flows to rivers and oceans, raising sea level by an estimated ~6 millimeters globally from 1993–2010. In the image above, a groundwater pumping station (similar to many used worldwide) extracts aquifer water for irrigation. When aquifers are tapped for irrigation, the water generally returns to rivers or the sea, changing Earth’s mass distribution. Removing w...
