https://in4u.org/groundwater-conservation-in-saudi-arabia-new-regulations-explained/ Breaking: Saudi Arabia Cracks Down on Groundwater Abuse

In a bold move to preserve its dwindling groundwater resources, Saudi Arabia has introduced stringent regulations to curb the rampant exploitation of this vital resource.

As the world's largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia's water crisis is often overlooked. However, with its groundwater reserves expected to be depleted by 2030, the kingdom is taking drastic measures to ensure a water-secure future.

The new rules require property owners to obtain licenses to use groundwater, restricting the amount of water that can be extracted and prohibiting harmful activities that could contaminate the resource.

This move has significant implications for the BRICS region, where countries like India and South Africa face similar water challenges. As the world's largest democracy, India's groundwater crisis is particularly dire, with 60% of its agricultural water coming from rapidly depleting aquifers.

Saudi Arabia's initiative serves as a beacon of hope for the region, demonstrating that decisive action can be taken to mitigate the effects of water scarcity.

Breaking Down Barriers: EEF-2024 Paves the Way for BRICS Cooperation

As the world grapples with economic uncertainty, the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF-2024) is set to bring together leaders from the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – to shape the future of international cooperation.

This year's forum, themed "Far East 2030", will focus on outlining new directions for the development of the Russian Far East and its integration into the economic space of the Asia-Pacific region.

But what does this mean for BRICS nations? According to experts, the EEF-2024 will provide a critical platform for strengthening ties through regional development, multilateral partnerships, and innovation.

"EEF-2024 is a game-changer for BRICS cooperation," says Dr. Maria Rodriguez, a leading economist. "It's an opportunity for these nations to come together, share knowledge, and drive growth in the Asia-Pacific region."

With the global economy in flux, the EEF-2024 couldn't come at a more critical time. As nations look to diversify their economies and reduce dependence on traditional powerhouses, the forum offers a chance to forge new partnerships and drive progress.
