A city in Spain is reviving a 3,000-year-old solution to combat extreme heat
As one of the hottest cities in Europe, Seville, Spain finds itself at the frontlines of the climate crisis. Blending modern science with ancient technology, the city is installing underground aqueducts to help keep itself cool.
Funded by the EU, the CartujaQanat project’s “quanats” work by cooling water underground in naturally low temperatures that occur at night. When temperatures peak outdoors during the day, the cool water is sent up into the ceiling to counteract the heat.
The system also sends water into subterranean pipes that cool air, which will be released via ducts in public spaces. Outdoors, mist is sprayed to lower the temperature through evaporation.
Why is this good news? While we need to invest as much as possible into preventing further warming, the climate crisis is already bringing extreme weather to places all over the world. Adaptation is a critical part of combating climate change — and solutions like this will save lives when extreme heat reaches our communities.
Most of us are used to subscriptions for the things we love — streaming, music, meal kits. But healthcare? That still feels unpredictable.
ActuateCare is changing that by offering virtual healthcare for one simple monthly fee. Members receive unlimited virtual urgent care and primary care visits, along with access to behavioral health and pharmacy support — all without copays or surprise costs.
That simplicity removes one of the biggest reasons people delay care: uncertainty.
Whether it’s a sick child, a late-night sinus infection, a medication question, or help managing a chronic condition, members can quickly connect with licensed clinicians from wherever they are.
When healthcare feels accessible and predictable, people are more likely to use it early — which is good news for individuals, families, and communities.

More than 81% of rural households in India now have tap water
Out of 193.6 million rural households in the country, more than 157.9 million have tap water as of January 26, according to the Jal Shakti Minister.
The milestone is thanks to the efforts of Jal Jeevan Mission, a Government program first launched in 2019 with the hopes of providing piped drinking water to every rural household in the country.
Since 1990, India has greatly reduced the deaths from unsafe drinking water by over 80%. To further improve public health and reduce waterborne illnesses, the JJM also launched a “Citizen Corner,” which makes village-level water quality test results available to the public.
