Water and electricity are two essential items which would not be easily available for rural folks staying far away from national power grid. To overcome the electricity scarcity, a solar system can be utilized as shown in the picture. The solar panel is connected to a battery used to store the solar energy into electricity.

For water supply, the areas can be supplied using rain water which are harvested throughout the rainy days and the rain water is stored in the big water storage tanks as shown in the picture.


Water storage tanks used for storing rainwater to be made available to the rural folks.

Coldest Spot in the Solar System

Is it at the North Pole, South Pole, or somewhere in Pluto. According to this report,  the coldest spot in the solar system is on our moon. It is in the moon's South Pole in the crater that is never being exposed to the sun. It is colder than far away Pluto.


Temperatures there were measured at 397 degrees (minus 238 Celsius) below zero. That's just 35 degrees (2 Celsius) higher than the lowest temperature possible.
 
NASA is making the first ever map of the moon. I am not sure whether, NASA has managed to cover everywhere in the solar system. If not, there might be some other locations that will be the coldest.
