New York, 20 September – Despite several important global targets being met ahead of the 2015 deadline, for the first time in many years aid shows a decline that risks slowing the momentum of significant development gains, warns a United Nations report issued today ahead of the annual high-level General Assembly meetings next week. With no apparent commitment by donor governments to reverse the trend, it is possible that fewer of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the UN’s poverty reduction targets, will be reached in fewer countries by the 2015 deadline.
Check out Tessa Livingstone's disturbing new video on the crisis of water supply. Why, after $360 million of investment do nearly a billion people still lack healthy water?

Raw data on water volumes, inflows, and outflows in Central Asia’s largest reservoirs are reported every ten day here. UNDP’s Central Asia water database presents these high-frequency data in terms of their trends relative to multi-year averages, in order to provide a more user-friendly picture of the extent to which high- or low-water conditions are in fact present in the Aral Sea basin.

Indo-Pakistani relations have always been tense since their independence from British rule in 1947. Different kinds of conflicts characterise the relationship between the two countries. One source of conflict between the two is over the Indus River whose waters they share. It flows through India and Pakistan to the Arabian Sea. The disputes were settled in 1960 thanks to the Indus Water Treaty which allocated the water of the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab to Pakistan and the waters of the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi to India.
