Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates argues the UN should prioritize malaria eradication and poverty alleviation over climate targets. His controversial stance highlights growing tensions in global development funding as aid budgets shrink.
A comprehensive study using advanced geospatial technology has identified optimal locations for rainwater harvesting systems in Pakistan’s water-scarce Pothowar region. The research analyzed multiple hydrological factors to classify land suitability for water storage infrastructure. Findings reveal significant potential for addressing water security challenges through targeted rainwater collection initiatives.
Researchers have conducted a comprehensive analysis of water storage potential in Pakistan’s Pothowar region using advanced geospatial technology, according to recent reports. The study, which spans approximately 23,204 square kilometers across five districts including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Chakwal, Attock, and Jhelum, employed sophisticated mapping techniques to identify optimal sites for rainwater harvesting systems. Sources indicate this approach could significantly enhance water security in the arid Indus basin region.

The North Pacific Ocean is experiencing its warmest summer on record, with sea surface temperatures reaching unprecedented levels. Scientists are struggling to explain the persistence of this massive “warm blob” that spans an area roughly ten times the size of the Mediterranean Sea. The phenomenon may have unexpected consequences for global weather patterns, including potentially colder conditions in the UK.
The North Pacific Ocean has recorded its warmest summer in history, according to reports analyzing a mysterious marine heatwave that has left climate experts searching for answers. Analysis indicates that sea surface temperatures between July and September exceeded previous records by more than 0.25°C, representing a significant increase across an enormous oceanic region.
